The resorts of Bad Gastein and Bad Hofgastein are set in the Gasteinertal ski area. This is one of the largest ski areas in Austria offering access to 200kms of ski slopes split over four separate areas. Both villages offer access to excellent spa facilities.
Bad Hofgastein would be the prettier of the two with more traditional austrian buildings and a pedestrianised centre. It would also be the quieter of the two resorts for après ski.
There is so much to do in either area that it will be hard to take advantage of all the extra facilities these resorts offer when off the slopes. There are natural spas, springs and baths - all of which are great for relaxation after a hard ski day.
All levels are taken care of in the area with nice gentle slopes and nursery runs for beginners to learn on and eventually advance to the many intermediate slopes in the region. For the more advanced there are more challenging runs to take advantage of while cross country skiers are also catered for in the area. Each area offers a mix for boarders from snowparks with half pipes to terrain parks with rails and tabletops.
