Am off to Scheffau on Saturday and wondered if anyone knows the resort well enough to recommend a blue piste or two to start off on to ease ourselves back into skiing?

Thanks

Hi MelC, there is an easy blue in the village itself. Then, once you have your ski legs, you can go up the Brandstadl Gondola, either to the middle ot top station, and there is a blue all the way down to the village.

When you really get going, from the top of the Brandstadl, you can play on blues and reds around the Eiberg.

Then a good run is to get across to Ellmau, and then Going. Either of these make for a nice lunch break.

Be prepared to suffer the world's worst piste map!

All said with grateful thanks to Admin Dave, who by and large kept me on the straight and narrow, or rather, bendy and wide. :shock:

Hi mick1583,
Just got back from skiwelt on Saturday......WOW, what a place !!!!!!!!!!!!! Didnt stay at Scheffau but were staying in Ellmau just up the valley.
Skiing is great with loads of routes etc to choose from. There are more mountain huts than you can shake a stick at ( 70 odd if I remember correctly)...all ( the ones I went to at least) very good value & facilities are very good ( toilets etc).
Tip; Plastic not so readily received as in uk so have cash just in case.
Wont bother to advise on runs etc as there is tooooo much to cover; just expolore yourself, you'll love it.
Have a good trip ( sure you will )

I noticed in France the distinct lack of huts dotted around like you get in Austria. In France it all seems to be big self service restaurants (some of which served particularly good food) but only at major lift interchanges. Austria does seem to have a better choice of places to stop I have found.
