Westendorf Beginner Skiing
Westendorf is a safe bet for beginners, with convenient nursery slopes and good facilities for young children. It also has some interesting tree-lined blue runs for progressing beginners, which are also near at hand, although these might be exhausted quickly by fast learners.Beginner Skiing in Westenddorf
Westendorf has good facilities for those completely new to skiing, with a large area of gentle nursery slopes very close to the centre of the village and most of the ski schools have specially designed areas for young children. The nursery slopes are served by a series of magic carpets, as well as a t-bar and a small chairlift. It is worth being aware that at 800m this area can suffer from a lack of snow at certain times of the year, although snow-making facilities generally mean that this is less of an issue than it might be.
Beginners can make a gradual transition to easy blue runs, trying out the runs served by the t-bar (115) at the top of the Alpenrosenbahn cable car. Once this has been mastered there are a handful of fun blue runs winding through the trees down to Westendorf village that provide further interest, although these are not extensive.
Access to beginner level terrain in the main SkiWelt area is more complicated – either involving a bus or cable car down to Brixen and taking the Hochbrixen cable car up the other side of the valley. At the top, however, beginners are rewarded with another large beginners area and a few wide blue runs to try out. The runs down to Brixen are more challenging so beginners should get the cable car down, even if more confident, as the red run (1b) can get choppy and busy in the afternoons.
