The Alpenrosenbahn whisks skiers and boarders right up to the local slopes, which offer good variety and the option of skiing long runs back down to the valley floor each time
One of these routes heads down to Brixen im Thale, from which the Hochbrixen gondola takes you right into the heart of the SkiWelt and the 284km of slopes. These are ideal for intermediates looking to clock up big miles on piste, or beginners looking to take their skills to the next level – there are few challenges for advanced and expert skiers here. Regardless of your standard however, you’ll benefit from a world-class lift system and comprehensive snowmaking coverage.
Westendorf has a well located resort centre that has bags of Tirolean charm.
Accommodation comes mostly in traditional hotels and guesthouses and Tirolean fare is very much top of the menu. You can close to the foot of the Alpenrosenbahn for the best access to the slopes each morning, but note its a short walk into town for the evening if you do so. The resort is only an hour from Innsbruck, so is nice and easy to get to.

Snow Overview
Austria
Updated 31/12
A bit of a mixed picture for Austria in the opening sprint of the new year, with snow hitting some unusual places and leaving others a bit bare.
The low pressure area that is due to cause disruption over New Year’s Eve and Day in the UK keeps going and impacts the continent, bringing unsettled conditions to much of the region on Thursday and, importantly, snow. Areas in the west will receive a good dusting, but in the east a good 10cm could be expected down over Thursday and Friday, thanks to this low pressure area mixing with another low pressure area over St Petersburg and the Baltics, sending unsettled weather down from the northeast, too.
Things will turn bitterly cold on Friday, as cold air sweeps in from the Arctic, plunging daytime highs to -12°C at 2,000m. These will recover quickly, however, with the freezing line recovering back to 2,000m by Saturday as more snow moves in across higher elevations. This could see some serious totals down, with at least a foot expected in western reaches and half of this in the east.
