With its impressive ski area, incredible array of spa facilities and easy access from Salzburg, it's no surprise Badgastein is a popular choice for skiers.
Extensive snowmaking has improved snow reliability in the region markedly in recent years, plus the high-altitude Sportgastein slopes are little more than a short bus ride away from town. A lot of money has been invested into the lifts and slopes in recent years, including the impressive revamp of the Schlossalm sector above the next door village of Bad Hofgastein. You’ll spend most of your time on high capacity gondolas (which can also download if the snow isn’t great lower down at the start or end of the season) or fast chairlifts, making it very easy to clock up the miles. The only issue here is for advanced and expert skiers, who may find their options limited, especially if there is little off piste terrain available.
As mentioned, the town is almost as famous for its thermal spas as it is for skiing and there are so many to choose from – ranging from small, family-run affairs to vast, luxury hotel-run facilities. The town itself is bustling, especially at weekends, and there is a good range of accommodation and restaurant options – most hotels of course have spa facilities too! Resort website: www.gastein.com
Pros and cons
- Excellent, testing long runs for confident intermediates
- Good mix of high, open slopes and lower woodland runs
- Good mountain restaurants
- Excellent thermal spas, but …
- Main resorts are spa towns, lacking the usual Austrian resort ambience
- Valley slopes are split into five areas, and having a car helps
- Lacks genuinely easy long runs for painless progression

Snow Overview
Austria
Updated 07/04
Austria’s crescendo to the 2025/26 season looks set to continue through this week, as cooler temperatures (at least compared to the rest of the Alps) brings with it a few last flurries of snow.
Spring freeze-thaw cycles will be in force, but the freezing line will drop to 2,000m overnight and rising up to 3,000m in the midday sun. This will settle slightly on Friday when a pocket of unsettled weather moves in; the west will see a few flurries, barely enough to register on the snowstake, with up to 5cm falling the further east you travel. With the freezing line being where it is, this will limit snowfall to higher ground.
A few more flurries are due into the new week, albeit it remains too early to tell exactly how much, when, and where will fall.
