Summary

Cute little Westendorf must be a contender for the ‘most improved resort in the world’ award. Four years ago the resort was effectively linked to Kitzbühel; last season a new gondola from Brixen completed the link to the SkiWelt – the mega area between Söll and Brixen with which it has long shared a lift pass. If you overlook a short bus ride on the Kitzbühel side, you could say Westendorf is now at the heart of one of the biggest lift-linked ski areas in the Alps. It’s undoubtedly the best place to stay for exploring both areas in a week

News – this season 2011/12

Skiwelt: The 3.5km toboggan run is now floodlit till 10.30pm every night. Parents can buy one pass between two which either can use. The Hopfgarten home run was improved, with snowmaking to valley level.
