- Fantastic resort activities – particularly the spas
- Lacks a degree of ski resort ambience
- Lower slopes can suffer at the end of the season
- Limited challenging slopes for more advanced skiers
On the Slopes
By far the best way to explore this beautiful valley and the impressive slopes is through the Ski Club Freshtracks Holidays that head out to the resort each winter. All are aimed specifically at over-55s and don’t worry – spa trips play a major role in the itinerary!
The main Schlossalm sector above the resort has a network of open blues and reds above the tree-line, which then drop into pretty forests. This is then linked to Stubnerkogel – via the Angertal – directly above Badgastein. Further up the valley lies the snowsure Sportgstein sector and above Dorfgastein down the valley, another 63km of linked pistes can be found, either side of the Fulseck mountain.
For beginners, the best area is located at Angertal, a short bus hop away from the centre of town. From here, progression is generally good across the valley and intermediates have access to a great network of well-groomed slopes. The only things really lacking are real challenges for advanced and expert skiers or boarders – you’ll need to wait for a powder day as most of the blacks are relatively mellow.
In the Resort
Set in sunny, spacious surroundings, the resort of Bad Hofgastein is a quiet spa town set in the heart of the Gastein Valley. The pedestrianised centre has plenty of shops and restaurants and the resort is pleasant to wander around post skiing. It also has excellent bus links to gain access to the other resorts in the valley.
The main attractions away from the slopes are the spas, fuelled by thermal water filtered through the local mountains. As a result, by Austrian standards the après ski is muted, but the Gastein Alm at the end of the day is a good spot from which to grab a cold beer.
Getting to Bad Hofgastein
Salzburg is by far the closest airport, and, in a good run, you’ll be in resort after an hour of driving (or in just under two hours via public transport).
Innsbruck and Munich offer alternatives, but the drive will take around three or four hours respectively.
- Salzburg airport: 1 hour (driving) or 2 hours (by public transport)
- Innsbruck airport: 3 hours (driving)
- Munich airport: 4 hours (driving)
- Calais: approximately 14 hours driving (735 miles)
Season Dates
- Opens: in stages from Friday 29 November 2024
- Closes: 6 April 2025 (skiing in Sportgastein continues until 1 May 2025)

Updated 02/05
The weekend starts mild across the region, with the freezing line ticking up to 4,000m. This sits under a layer of cloud cover, which will bring with it precipitation; this will fall as snow in many areas, as the freezing line drops from this peak as low as 1,500m over the course of the weekend.
Western areas will see around 12cm of snow, with easterly and southern areas seeing perhaps a foot on Monday along, with another 10cm before and after. This will remain across higher ground, as the freezing line doesn’t dip below 2,000m during this snowy period.
Unsettled conditions continue over the course of this week, with more snow on the way in parts.
Thus concludes our snow overviews for the 2024/25 season; thank you to everyone who has tuned in, and we look forward to seeing you again next season!
