westendorf

Westendorf markets itself as a family-friendly ski resort. Like other villages in the Ski Welt, it has however also gained a reputation as a cheap and cheerful destination for groups from the UK, Ireland and Holland.

It is Westendorf's range of accommodation and skiing that has always made it a popular holiday choice, but the addition of the new link to the Kitzbühel and Kirchberg ski area, means that it now deserves attention from all keen skiers who are contemplating visiting Austria.
