ℹ️ These figures refer to the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser – Brixental ski area, which is shared by several resorts: kilometres of runs, number of runs, lifts and lift pass are common to all of them. The figures shown here and on the pages of neighbouring resorts therefore describe the same ski area and the same lift pass: they do not add up.
The 275 km, 81 lifts and lift pass figures refer to the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser – Brixental ski area, shared by Söll, Ellmau, Scheffau, Going, Brixen im Thale, Westendorf and Hopfgarten. The breakdown of runs is given as a percentage of the kilometres at each difficulty level. Westendorf is the easternmost village of the SkiWelt, with its own sector linked to the rest of the area.

Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability
The Westendorf ski area, with its 275 km of runs, offers something for every type of skier: large enough not to run out of new terrain over a week, yet compact enough to find your favourite sectors easily. The 81 lifts make it possible to chain descents without long queues. Westendorf'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. Westendorf's moderate altitude — 784 m at the base, 1,869 m at the top — makes it sensitive to climate variations. January and February remain the most reliable months for optimal snow cover. Outside this window, checking the snow reports before you leave is strongly recommended. A stay in Westendorf is clearly on the expensive 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 it is worth being aware of it before you go. In short: Westendorf lives up to its promises. A resort in the Northern Alps that will suit most skiers without disappointing.
