Enjoy traditional Austrian hospitality and dramatic mountain scenery at this stunning ski location, where your school group can dive right in to 279km of diverse skiing. Skiwelt has an outstanding snow record and extensive snow cannon coverage too, meaning valley runs and resort connections are reliably available throughout the season. At the end of the ski day, the traditional Tyrolean town of Kufstein has plenty of shops, restaurants and attractions to further entertain your group.

Features

Beginners can find their feet on the nursery slopes at village level before cutting their teeth on the mountain, and with 45% of the ski area dedicated to blue runs there’s plenty of choice! The nearby area of Scheffau has a large network of blue runs weaving through the trees and open bowls on which you can gain confidence. Intermediates have a similar number of red runs throughout the resort, with short punchy steeps, longer trails through the forests plus some open areas offering wide runs. 

Nine black runs are largely located in Söll and Scheffau, allowing a more stern challenge for those adventurous enough to try, whilst there's also a choice of three fun-parks plus the option of night-skiing from Wednesday to Saturday.
