Beginners will find lovely, wide pistes throughout the entire area. In close proximity to Bad Hofgastein there is further there is also the ski centre Angertal. More challenging are the deep snow runs at Graukogel, which run over into the black FIS racing stretches. Deep snow areas, e.g. at Kreuzkogel as well as numerous ski routes, offer the perfect playground for cracks! The "Hohe Scharte Nord" at the Schlossalm, however, covers the largest difference in altitude in Salzburger Land.
Snowboarders and freestylers can burn off energy at the snow parks on Stubnerkogel and Kreuzkogel.
All over the ski area there are Wi-Fi-hotspots which give you the opportunity to stay in contact with your friends during your winter holidays and to upload the first photos from your stay.
All in all, four areas await you in Gastein Valley with the ski area Dorfgastein-Großarltal and Schlossalm-Angertal-Stubnerkogel, the Graukogel and Sportgastein; with their diverse, perfectly connected offer, will make winter sports fans' pulses race.
Après ski Bad Hofgastein
Relaxation after a successful day of skiing is promised by the Alpentherme Gastein, a modern, alpine health and leisure oasis with six different themed worlds such as Sauna, Family and Relax. Great fun for all ages is tobogganing on one of the night toboggan runs in Bad Gastein or Bad Hofgastein. In Bad Hofgastein, you also have the possibility of ice skating, curling, indoor tennis or riding Icelandic horses in the riding hall. To explore the nature of the Gastein Valley, numerous winter hiking trails are available.
Those interested in history can visit the Gastein Museum or Klammstein Castle at the entrance of the valley, which offers an exhibition on castle development. Families should not miss out on a visit to the fortress, either: For little fans of frights, guided ghost tours are offered here.
Snowpark: Snowpark Gastein Bad Hofgastein
Located in the ski area Gastein is the "Snowpark Gastein", which is shaped by Q-Parks, just like many other top parks in the Alps. From Bad Gastein you can reach the park via the Stubnerkogel lift and from Bad Hofgastein you can take the Angertal lift. On an altitude of approx. 1,900 m the snow park offers 3 different areas with countless obstacles.
In the spacious beginner area there are 2 boxes, butter boxes, and 4 kickers. In the medium area advanced riders can show their skills on boxes, kickers (up to 10 m), rails, tubes, as well as a jib zone with pyramid and wall ride spine. The advanced area for pros comprises a challenging set up with an 8 m picnic table, 12 m kicker, and a 7 m down/flat/down box, as well as many other obstacles.
Those who would just like to watch will have a great view of the area from the "Stubneralm" at the lower end of the park.
