The local ski area in Westendorf comprises 45km of terrain, and offers a choice of 21 runs served by 13 lifts. An ideal resort for beginners, the resort boasts wide nursery slopes right next to the village, conveniently close to the resorts' accommodation and restaurants. If snow is a problem at this level, there are also gentle slopes further up the mountain too, whilst intermediates can choose from a selection of blue and red runs, many running back through the trees. Advanced skiers have limited terrain here, but there is plenty of off-piste to explore, and the whole of the Ski Welt area to discover too.
