Sitting a couple of kilometers down the valley from Bad_Hofgastein, Dorfgastein is home its own ski area, comprised of 65kms of slopes with neighbouring Grossarl.
A network of mostly red runs opens up to provide excellent skiing for intermediates, as well a few steeper challenges for more advanced skiers. The lift system is good and intrepid skiers and riders will want to catch the ski bus up to Bad Hofgastein and take the swish new Schlossalm lift up to the snowsure slopes of the wider ski area.
The village itself is quieter than its neighbours up the valley, without the same selection of world-class spas that Badgastein is famous for. That being said it makes for an attractive base, especially with the access to the Grossarl ski area. Access from Salzburg is very quick and easy, making this a good weekend destination, or one to tie in with a city break in the picturesque city.

Snow Overview
Austria
Updated 17/03
Spring conditions dominate across the Austrian Alps through this week, as high pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions across the region. Temperatures will yo-yo in a typical spring freeze-thaw pattern, the freezing line dropping to 500m overnight but rising to just shy of 2,000m in the midday sun.
Cloud and more unsettled weather brings with it some snow through this weekend, the best of which will be in the east of the country; around 15cm will fall from Saturday into Sunday, but with the oscillations of the freezing line settling around 1,500 this will mean that this snowfall will favour upper slopes. Western areas will see around 5cm.
More unsettled weather is due for the new week, although it remains too far out to fully see how much snow, when and where.
