SkiWelt says you can get on or off at any location in the SkiWelt. Choose the entry point nearest to your accommodation and check which part of the circuit brings you back there.
Check the lift times
With 69 kilometres of pistes and 34 lifts, the clockwise tour fills a long day. Check the SkiWelt lift opening times before you set off and keep an eye on the time at each connection.
