Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability
With 275 km of runs, the Scheffau ski area offers a good choice for every type of skier: large enough that you won't go round in circles for a week, yet compact enough to find your favourite sectors easily. The 81 lifts keep the descents flowing without long queues. Scheffau's family reputation is well earned: dedicated beginner areas, a well-organised childcare service, well-groomed green runs and a friendly atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It is one of the most reassuring resorts in the Northern Alps for laying the foundations of skiing with children. Scheffau's moderate altitude, from 752 m at the base to 1,869 m at the summit, makes it sensitive to weather variations. January and February remain the safest months for optimal snow cover. Outside this window, checking the snow reports before you leave is strongly advised. Budgeting for a stay in Scheffau is clearly on the higher side: 80€ for a day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the most expensive in the Alps. It is the price of excellence, but you should be aware of it before you go. In short, Scheffau keeps its promises. A Northern Alps resort that will suit most skiers without disappointing.
