Having paid E1250 for three weekly passes for Bad Gastein, it was only by accident we discovered that the Grauogel side lifts had permanently closed in 2025, taking out 7 ski runs. The only remaining lifts out of Bad Gastei are now a short two man chair (serving a short blue beginner slope) and a double double on the Stubnerkogel side. From the half-way point on the bubble there is only one way down via a narrow, glassy blue run with some challenging reverse-camber corners littered with petrified beginners and overun with oafish boy-racers. From about 14.30 onwards it is absolutely rammed and impossible to find a rhythm or a line. It is difficult and slow to access the Angertal side in poor conditions and only one lift back up. There is a single, brutalist-design restaurant at the foot of the B16 on the Bad Gastein side, and a scruffy cash-only bar by the ski school playing oompah music; no apres-ski scene on the slopes. Two decent alpine restaurant below the mid station, but once more you are then committed to the Only Way Down (B16), which even my daring daughter vetoed after doing it once and being taken out by an out-of-control beginner. I cannot recommend this resort for really any level of skier even in good conditions. Only two lifts, poorly designed, a single demanding blue that has to take everyone home in the afternoon.
