The resort of Scheffau is situated in the heart of the Wilder Kaiser-Brixental ski area, the largest in Austria and one of the largest and most modern in the world. In total, this region offers athletes access to an impressive 280 kilometers of slopes with varying difficulty levels and 90 lifts. With a single pass purchase, you can relish all the amenities of this skiing paradise without restrictions, including complimentary ski bus service!
A gondola ride whisks you to the summit of Brandstadl in just 15 minutes, from where you can gracefully descend the wide, impeccably groomed slopes. Cross-country enthusiasts will cherish the 1.2-kilometer long descent, which remains accessible even after dark, illuminated on Tuesdays from 20:00 to 21:30.
Within the resort, there are several vantage points that merit a visit. From the Brandstadlbahn, you can behold the legendary Wilder Kaiser valley, and from the top station of the Osthangbahn elevator, you'll have a breathtaking view of the slopes and the summit of Hohe Salve. However, the most popular spot is the Eiberg-Treff area, thoughtfully equipped with sun loungers for guests' comfort. As you relax in these loungers, you'll be treated to panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Free WiFi is also available here for those who wish to share their scenic moments with friends on social media.
