With its impressive ski area, incredible array of spa facilities and easy access from Salzburg, it's no surprise Badgastein is a popular choice for skiers.
Extensive snowmaking has improved snow reliability in the region markedly in recent years, plus the high-altitude Sportgastein slopes are little more than a short bus ride away from town. A lot of money has been invested into the lifts and slopes in recent years, including the impressive revamp of the Schlossalm sector above the next door village of Bad Hofgastein. You’ll spend most of your time on high capacity gondolas (which can also download if the snow isn’t great lower down at the start or end of the season) or fast chairlifts, making it very easy to clock up the miles. The only issue here is for advanced and expert skiers, who may find their options limited, especially if there is little off piste terrain available.
As mentioned, the town is almost as famous for its thermal spas as it is for skiing and there are so many to choose from – ranging from small, family-run affairs to vast, luxury hotel-run facilities. The town itself is bustling, especially at weekends, and there is a good range of accommodation and restaurant options – most hotels of course have spa facilities too! Resort website: www.gastein.com
Pros and cons
- Excellent, testing long runs for confident intermediates
- Good mix of high, open slopes and lower woodland runs
- Good mountain restaurants
- Excellent thermal spas, but …
- Main resorts are spa towns, lacking the usual Austrian resort ambience
- Valley slopes are split into five areas, and having a car helps
- Lacks genuinely easy long runs for painless progression

Snow Overview
Austria
Updated 15/04
Spring conditions continue through this week for most Austrian areas, as the freezing line remains high – around 3,000m. This will change, however, as the weekend approaches, with more unsettled conditions bringing cooler temperatures and snow to much of the region.
Western reaches will see a brief flurry of snow on Thursday, mostly across higher ground. More unsettled weather will come in through the weekend, bringing snow to all elevations as the freezing line drops off a cliff; around 20cm can be expected across higher ground.
Further east, flurries of snow arrive all week, remaining on higher elevations thanks to a higher freezing line. In a similar chain of events, snow moves in over this weekend and will reach all elevations, albeit only half a foot or so.
Unsettled conditions and snowfall remain in play throughout the new week.
