Skiing in Bad Gastein
There are two local areas in Bad Gastein - Stubnerkogel and Graukkogel which offers cruising runs that favour intermediate skiers the most. Situated on opposite sides of the resort, these areas aren’t linked together. Because of this it is seen as a fragmented ski resort and area so visitors do have to rely on bus services to get around. The Stubnerkogel area is however linked to Bad Hofgastein’s Schlossalm and Dorfgastein is also linked to the pistes in Grossarl in the nearby valley. Other areas include Sportgastein which lies beyond Bad Gastein at the head of the valley.
The area isn’t the best for beginners as its easy slopes make up 25% of the resort and they are scattered across the area as well as the fact you’ll have to take a bus to the lifts and back.
Advanced skiers will enjoy the off-piste runs in Kreuzkogel as well as the World Cup downhill.
There are 90km of cross country skiing trails in the area, with the highest trail sitting at 1,600m and offers beautiful views across the valley.
