The Snow

  • Excellent skiing for intermediates and advanced skiers.
  • Buses and a train connect the widely spread out variety of slopes, some running through forest providing a challenge for the intermediate skier with the many red slopes also making the resort's particularly attractive to this level.
  • The relatively high altitude makes the Gasteinertal ski area particularly snow safe.

Après ski

  • Bad Gastein has a great selection of bars, restaurants and a casino
  • Bad Hofgastein also offers a friendly mix of bars cafes and nightclubs.
  • Both resorts offer natural thermal baths to soothe away the aches of the day.

The Rest
