Bad Hofgastein

At the heart of the rugged Gastein Valley in the Hohe Tauern National Park, the historic spa town of Bad Gastein and village of Bad Hofgastein form a vast panoramic 200km ski circuit most suited to intermediate and advanced skiers. There are many cosy and traditional huts dotted on the mountain, some long, testing runs for confident intermediates, and a varied choice of black runs and off-piste for advanced skiers. Non-skiers can enjoy well-prepared walking paths or enjoy the world famous thermal spas in both resorts. Bad Hofgastein has an attractive pedestrianised centre and the town of Bad Gastein has many shops, bars and restaurants.
