A short 15km trip from Kitzbühel and skiers will land in a different world of skiing paradise. Gone are the fur coats and Porsches littering the driveways of the hotels - welcome to an uncluttered and uncomplicated resort, which is as refined as any alpine ski location as well as being part of the world famous 'Ski Welt' region. Westendorf is a compact resort and there's a cosiness here and familial atmosphere that is both welcoming and reassuringly Austrian. Many Dutch and Scandinavians flock to Westendorf year after year partly for its seclusion and partly for the craic.
