About The Resort..
Neustift
Neustift Resort
Neustift is a pretty Tirolean village with a little local area of slopes called Elfer. Hotels and food are good and there is quite a lot to do in the village including bowling, swimming and saunas. The Elfer slopes offer a narrow chain of lifts and runs from Elferhutte all the way down to the village. Many of the ski runs are red runs which is great for keen intermediates and fast progressing novices...however, for the more advanced boarders and skiers there is little to offer here in the way of a challenge.
