  • So what's it like?

    Miles of piste, extensive off-piste and wonderfully relaxing spas, shorter transfer

    The extensive Gasteinertal ski area is one of the largest in Austria. The attractive town of Bad Gastein has a bustling centre and excellent amenities, not to mention the famous spa. If you're looking for great nightlife you can begin with après ski' and continue into the early hours. The skiing and boarding is superb - you need almost never take the same piste twice in a week, and if you head off-piste with a guide the area almost doubles again.

    Ski information

    Beginners

    In Bad Gastein the nursery slopes are next to the main gondola. From the nursery slopes beginners can progress on to blue runs on the Stubnerkogel.

    Intermediates

    This is ski-your-heart-out country! Bad Gastein offers a wide variety of red and blue runs, linked with nearby Bad Hof Gastein to make one large area. The Gastein valley has a further 3 ski areas, offering total of 250kms of well groomed, often quiet, pistes. Buses and trains link the areas, and are covered by your lift pass.

    Advanced

    There are also some testing runs on the Stubnerkogel and a couple of nice blacks on the Graukogel. The off-piste can be fantastic too - why not hire a guide and head to the spectacular off-piste route from Kreuzkogel to Heilstollen, or sign up for an off-piste safari or touring day with the ski school.
