Introduction to the skiing areas
The level of your skiing ability and weather conditions should help you
decide in which skiing area in Gastein to leave your tracks in the
snow.
Schlossalm - Angertal - Stubnerkogel
860 - 2.300 m Altitude
Largest connected skiing area. Downhill runs with over l,
000m difference in altitude promise varied piste fun – perfectly
connected with modern lifts and cable cars. Ideal for skiing pleasure!
We would recommend the Judau lift in the skiing centre in the Angertal
Valley for beginners. Especially popular: the Hohe Scharte Nord (north)
(marked on the piste plan as downhill run number H 1) – and with
a length of 8 km and a difference in altitude of 1,440m it is one of
the longest downhill runs in the Eastern Alps.

Sportgastein
1.590 - 2.650 m Altitude
Highest situated skiing area. Sportgastein is the village, where
sporty types feel at home. Skier’s dreams become true, as soon as the
snow conditions allow the leaving of the carpet of prepared pistes – as
well as in powder snow or on crispy spring snow. Special tip: Ski route 1 + 2: Variety as far as the eye can see. After a thousand metres of
skiing in deep powder snow or the dream of mogul pistes you will land
at the valley station of the Goldbergbahn. Please pay
attention to the warning signs and the closures!

Graukogel
1.079 - 2.007 m Altitude
The Graukogel is a challenge for top skiers with its long
difficult downhill runs. Most of the runs lead through forests and
therefore are sheltered from wind and allows good orientation on days
when visibility is poor. The only drawback: there is no lift connection
to the other skiing areas.
Dorfgastein - Großarltal
850 - 2.003 m Altitude
The first "Schischaukel" of the Gasteinertal offers a diverse family-friendly supply of varied descents, from the beginner to the expert, high comfort with modern cable railway- and lift facilities and an unique, particularly ethnic ski huts-atmosphere. With the "Gipfelbahn Fulseck" you can reach the highest point of the "Schischaukel" Dorfgastein-Großarltal. From the "Fulseck" you`ll have the best panorama view, which stretches from the "Großglockner" to the "Dachstein". Very well prepared pistes invite you to an adventurous ski- and snowboard pleasure!
