That rater depends on how fast you ski, and what type of runs you are comfortable with.
I'm not at all sure I could reach Westendorf in an hour from getting on the funicular in Ellmau.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Try the rübezahl alm on the run down to elmau, I think it is the oldest restaurant in the ski welt, it is beautiful old wood construction and the wooden chandelier over the open fire place is gorgeous. Go in even just for a coffee to see this place.

deerman, I dont think its a webcam.nits an icon of a black video camera. The webcams have different icons. The icon is just below chair lift 66 v close to gondola 60 in between ellmau and soll. If you click on the camera it just says skimovie highlights. If it was a webcam, when youclick on it it takes you to the video footage

Commonly know as the Ribshack - on account of the massive rack of ribs they do. Usually about a foot long with another section 4-6". €12 IIRC this season with fries. Can get busy, so plan for an early or late lunch as you wish.

Jon Ford, when in the Ski Welt recently, staying in Westendorf, we tried to ski down to all 9 villages and managed.... 3.
No doubt clarky999, is technically right if you ski fast and know the area but we dillyied and dallyied, got lost, had lunch etc etc and Westendorf, Brixen, Ellmau and back was a full day out - and a good one.
On another day we tried to go to Soll and ended up in Hopfgarten, only realising this when we saw a sign saying 'Wilkommen (sp) to Hopfgarten' at the lift station. Also a good day!
Good thing is if that you do get lost/stranded a cab/bus is always a cheap and easy option in the Ski Welt

Well, yeah, though I don't think I'm a particularly fast skier most of the time. Easily, easily doable in a day anyway though.

Jon Ford, your video camera icon is (via http://www.easier.com/108548-why-the-skiwelt-is-the-top-choice-for-2012-13.html)

| Over in Scheffau the Ski Movie route allows you to film your personal ski video, a camera clocks you as you pass through the gate and a moving camera follows you down the track with applause sound-effects as you cross the finishing line! If you ever wonder how fast you actually ski, head to the timed speed run, pass through the gate and find out your skiing speed. |

alex_heney, actually not that hard if you want to do it and have planned your route in advance! I've done it quickly by downloading from Hochbrixen and then saving me legs for the fun over on Choralpe
Blue 97b or Red 97 to the Köglbahn chair lift- Red or Blue 99 to the Tanzboden lift - Drop down into the Scheffau bowl and take the Eiberg chair (either of them) the down to the Muldenbahn then down the long nice blue 2a to Hochbrixen! I'd leave out the Red 1b down into Brixen as it kills my knees, but then they are totally knackered even before I put skis on! 
With no queues and no faffing, doable in an hour to the bottom of the SkiWeltbahn!

Samerberg Sue, Yes, I wasn't thinking of downloading frm Hochbrixen, but if I did that, then I might be able to make it.

Thanks all. When I said ski over to westndf from ellmau I hadnt planned to ski down into any other villages, just pass over top of soll into westndf. I skiid 1950 les arcs tobelle plagne and back comfortably in a day last season and im sure thats further. Butwe were straight on the lifts outside hotel, not like ellmau where we have to grab bus to train/gondola. I may do a day over yhere. How much is a bus there or a taxi

Jon Ford, I have given you the most direct route using the least number of lifts to get to the bottom of Westendorf. From Ellmau you have to pass through the upper terrain of Scheffau. You do not need to go to Söll unless you want to catch the Postbus.

You know it makes sense.

You can always take the post bus back to ellmau from soll. it leaves from behind the whiskey mule bar and I believe the roundabout by the Salvenstadle costs 3.20 euro and takes 15 min. Goes about once per hour but tourist info will give you a time table. I have done it twice from ellmau to soll the last time two weeks ago. Agree about the home run to Scheffau, take blue from top and then the red at the very bottom. This home run from ellmau has a great bar just after the half way point, but keep your head down when entering. ellmau to soll takes about 1hour.
