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 24/03
After a pretty desperate season, bumper conditions finally – finally – arrive for Austria, as it experiences its first Nortstau event of the season through the middle of this week.
Unsettled conditions drifting in from the north will bring with it cold temperatures as the freezing line takes a long walk off a short pier; from a daytime high of 2,400m on Wednesday it will plummet to sea level by Friday morning.
These unsettled conditions will of course mean snow, with good snowfall hitting the Austrian Alps on Wednesday afternoon and continuing steadily until Friday morning; this will see around 45cm fall, particularly focused across higher ground as the freezing line works its way down the elevation chart steadily over this period. Around 25cm will fall on Thursday alone.
Expect the avalanche risk to increase over this period as this new snowfall sits on either wet ground, wet snow, or a spring freeze-thaw crust; plan your backcountry routes carefully, and check your local avalanche forecast before heading out.
Sun returns with gusto on Saturday, before the last few flurries of cloud and snow move in over Sunday and the new week.
