Bad Gastein - Graukogel Reviews & Ratings

Best kept secret in Salzburgerland. Dorfgastein, Badhofgastein/Bad Gastein and Sportgastein are the perfect destination for a 1 or 2 weeks’ trip. Lifts are modern and fast, waiting lines minimal and slopes well-prepared.
Many red and some black slopes, perfect for the advanced skier. Some great restaurants on the mountain (Bellevue, Hirsch’n Hüttn, Aeroplanstadl) and prices are doable.
Bad Hofgastein is a very nice authentic village, with plenty shops and restaurants. Not a big ‘après-ski’ party area, but great for families and ski-enthusiastics!

This is a tiny gem. It only has 3 lifts. But do not let that put you off. You have 2 great black runs, one of which they don't piste immediately so you get a great day skiing powder. You have a tree path which is great fun and a lovely long red. The lift attendants are friendly and the two mountain huts both have their own speciality dishes. I have skied so many great days here over the last 20 years.

We had the best trip staying in bad gastien the slopes were family friendly and accommodation was amazing I would definitely recommend this area and would love to return

Fantastic location. Pass gives you access to 3 other mountains in the region easily accessed via train or shuttle. Runs for all
Levels of skiers. Incredible views. Chalets / restaurants on almost every run it seems with great food and drink. If I had more time in the region I’d someday more time at this resort, but wanted to check the other mountains out as well. Wasn’t crowded at all. At one point I had a whole side of the mountain almost to myself!

Excellent resort amazing apres
Easy to link between slopes
Lifts are efficient and fast great restaurants on the slopes

Went for a girls trip, nice places to eat and drink. Slopes were busy but manageable. Enjoyed being able to easily access other ski areas on the free bus.

Lovely area but town seemed run down and our hotel was below what I would expect from Austria .Mountain was great but lifts system could do with some money being spent and the same with the piste maintenance which appears to be on a budget.Snow conditions were sparse and the snow machines don't appear to be running

The best snow Ive skied on, like cream Runs are very good quality and well looked afterIf you visit Bad Gastein you must visit Graukogel

I love it there! Growing up my Dad would always take us there for skiing holidays! One of my favourite memories, this place will forever be special to me! Always stayed at the Happimag Resort in Bad Hofgastein

A little gem of a resort, not too far from Salzburg so short transfer. The architecture is incredible and the waterfalls spectacular! Very steep hills to get to lifts, good for stretching legs! Slight lack of town eateries, well nearly all booked up! Ski lockers a must but these get really busy! Skiing great for 3-5 days max, good groomed runs, nice variety. Also up road is Sports Gastein, some lovely quieter reds and great black back to base. Overall, loved the resort

Several of the easier runs were not open when we visited. Make sure they have got plenty of snow before you go. The upper slopes were very busy because of the lack of snow lower down.
All in the lap.of the gods. The place is beautiful and a typical alpine village . We would go back here again if the snow was right.
