Slope breakdown
SkiWelt at a glance
SkiWelt is a ski area in Austria with 284 km of marked slopes served by 90 lifts. The lifts reach 1,957 m from a lowest base of 703 m, a vertical of 1,254 m.
Those figures describe the whole linked network, not one village. All 5 bases on Intski sell the same skiing, which is why each of their pages shows 284 km and 90 lifts. Choosing between them is a question of altitude, atmosphere and price rather than terrain.
The graded pistes break down as 119 km easy (42%), 125 km intermediate (44%) and 40 km expert (14%). Gradings count marked piste only, so off-piste terrain does not appear in them.
An adult day pass starts at 79.50 EUR for 2026/27. The first planned opening is Ellmau on 5 December 2026.
Slope figures come from the resorts and their operators; the difficulty breakdown follows the published piste statistics for this area (source).
Where to stay in SkiWelt
