Visitor Reviews of Bad Hofgastein


E, F from Austria writes:

Bad Hofgastein is worth 3 days, no more. It is smallish, like most Austrian areas, with the skiing predominately above the tree-line. We were there during the traditional ski weeks for the kids (1st three weeks of Feb) , so lots of kids and parents.

There is now currently 1 funicular, 1 tram, 3 high speeds, 3 old, low, slow speed chairs and one T-bar. The lift and piste layout could be better, however, it is adequate.

The run out at the base gets quite skied off and very dangerous at the end of day. It funnels down into a narrow run which gets steep at points and goes under the railroad bridge. If your edges are not razor sharp and your skills below intermediate, download mid mountain.

Heavy snows made going to Sport Gastein impossible. The road was closed there. Avalanche danger was high the whole 4 days we were there.

Bad Gastein definitely has limited skiing; most of the runs face the prevailing winds and get blown down to nothing in a hurry. Restaurant at the top of the gondola is quite pleasant and in line with other food venues throughout the Ski Amade area. Think small with nowhere to go for the most part.

Dorf Gastein is small with lots of kids and lines. Some tree skiing, some off-piste. Saw the most kids here, no problem with them since they were in classes. It was the most crowded of the three areas.

Stayed at the Hotel Astoria, foos and lodging were good to fantastic. Prices on house wine terrific. Limited internet access, 1 pay terminal. In town Cafe Rock is the only place with WLan acces available to the general public.

As said minimal Apres Ski, and I do mean minimal. There are enough venues if you have enough friends for a party. Do not go there expecting one.

Living in Austria now for the next three years, originally from State. Was a US based instructor for over 20 years. That said the skiing is different from the US, Canadian, or French Mega resorts. That is most of the runs are above tree line, and what looks like good decents are not developed. Expect crowds at most lifts. Food is good through out Austria, keep in mind most of the food is fried however.

Other areas worth considering (if you get bored or restless) on the Ski Amade include Flachau, Zauchensee, Wagrain and Alpendorf. All are within a 45 minute drive max from Bad Hofgastein.

All in all a very good area in Austria to ski.
