Beautiful scenery of majestic mountains, towns, cows and lots of flowers in the summer.

Most people went straight up and it's a pity to miss this part of the journey.

Ski Welt is an awesome resort, truly huge- you can definitely spend several days here. There are…read morelots of different access points to the resort, we used the Scheffau parking lot- convenient enough, there were several gondolas and a ski-out for the end of the day. Make sure you take a map, there are lots of different areas, and it can take several lifts / runs to get back to where you started from, so make sure you allow enough time before closing. Plenty of hospitality on the mountain with bars and restaurants, at the usual ski resort prices. My only gripe- don't go during German or Austrian holidays, the mountain can be a Zoo when full.

This is my only experience skiing in Austria. Resort itself crosses several mountains, so very big…read morewith lots of lifts and runs (not many super long ones though). Has a good number of gondolas too. I dont speak German and thought it was a bit confusing to get around. Especially getting back to the area where you came from. The map has alot of horizontal lifts and runs, which makes it hard to see the direction they go in. Plus, there were several lifts on the map, that were not present.

A tough mountain to climb as, you start walking uphill straight away and, don't stop climbing till…read moreyou get to the top at 1570m or so. It's a tough walk uphill and, I was exhausted by the end of the climb however, the views are spectacular from up there. I would happily come here again and, struggle to get to the top (which takes about 90-120 mins uphill) and, of course the same time downhill, which is also tough. The descent is steep and good shoes are a must if you want to walk this mountain up and down. We went here after it had rained the previous night and it was slippery and the paths can be quite narrow in parts and you look down a few hundred meters from some part of the path. So exercise caution. Well worth it me thinks :-))
