Part of the huge Sport Amadé region, the Gastein valley encompasses four different mountains and their related ski resorts of Gastein, Dorfgastein, Bad Hofgastein and Sport Gastein. Over 175 km of skiing awaits you, going up to heights of over 2500 metres ensuring great conditions until well after the British Easter holidays.
From your accommodation in the centre of Bad Gastein, take the lift straight up to the Stubnerkogel which is a short ride from the Angertal nursery slopes. Enjoy swooping down exceptionally wide runs and improve your technique on the easy and intermediate slopes. A few steep blacks and a long ski route will provide a challenge for the more able skiers. From the Stubnerkogel, take in the spectacular views of one of the longest suspension bridges in Europe at 2,300 metres, the Glocknerblick and Talblick viewing platforms and the Rock Trail (Felsenweg).
Bad Gastein lies at the end of a steep valley in the magnificent Hohe Tauern Mountains.
It offers excellent skiing with its recently upgraded lift system. For beginners Bad Gastein offers ideal slopes and good progression to plenty of enjoyable cruising and carving. As an area it is probably best suited to intermediates looking for a combination of mileage and challenge.
Advanced skiers will enjoy some of the best skiing in the region on the runs into the Angertal and the long black run through the woods from the Jungeralm.
Total number of lifts: 42
Marked pistes: 201km
