Bad Gastein / Bad Hofgastein

*high altitude resort*

The resorts of Bad Gastein and Bad Hofgastein are set in the Gasteinertal ski area, one of the largest in Austria with its impressive 200km of ski slopes. The resorts are surrounded by 17 thermal springs set among a landscape of glacier mills and natural stone monuments which are remnants of the ice age.

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.
