The Skiers' Guide to Bad Gastein

Not a bad resort, but wanted more runs. Everyone was super friendly. Town was pretty. The snow was decent for the time of year.

Great transport to different nearby ski areas. Free with a lift past. Lots of Grand Victorian hotels and spas, as it was originally a spa town. Great transport connections with the Bad Gastein- Mobility Card (you can get to Salzburg for free!). Only disappoint was there hadn't been any snow for weeks but the resort worked hard to make snow for the week. Lovely wide red runs at the resort. Good for boarders.

I have skied here since I was 2 years old very good beginner skiing and experience skiers will also have plenty to do I recommend this resort highly

Part of bigger area so plenty of slopes but will need to use relatively efficient bus system. Lift system OK. Good variety of runs. A lower resort, so best not to go in season shoulders. On mountain food OK. Prices good. Choose your accommodation location carefully as some far from base lifts.

The resort but mainly skiing was very good overall with only a few minor wrong directions from the piste map which is normal I guess. Very friendly, great accommodation (access to hotel spa and huge town spa with heated underground tunnels) great food and very friendly and reasonably priced piste based restaurants.

I really enjoyed skiing here. There were great options for hiring skis. I recommend the spa for relaxing after a long day of skiing, or a lovely swim in the pool in the town. You should definitely go at New Years for the amazing party they put on with live music and mulled wine. Best skiing trip for sure!

The beginners area at Angertel is very good. I feel the beginners area is not very good in Bad Gadstien is not so good there are 2 small slopes and then the jump from there is too steep for beginners and could be quite terrifying.

Great ski resort overall. Well operated and maintained. Good mix of restaurants and bars for Apres.Lots of hire options available. No green runs, only blue red black.

Been here a few times for long weekends, great snow when the weather is not too nasty. Fantastic spa in the centre of the village, love Blu fusion dining, and a couple of great Austrian gastropub type ones. Angertal is where you want to start the day, going all the way up to Schlossalm. Easy to drive / train + taxi from Salzburg / Munich. Will visit soon again for relaxed skiing with magical spa evenings.

We have enjoyed our trip to Austria and the collective slopes near our accommodation in Bad Gastein. The slopes are not busy and the lifts are amazing. Food at the restaurants at the lift areas and next to the slopes are great - we always try the Kaiserschmarrn to gauge how good the place is and none have disappointed! The powder is great and even at 15:00 the slopes are not carved up. Everyone is super friendly here and everything is easy to get to the connection slopes via the buses which is free for skiers/snowboarders. We will definitely come back here.

Nice area with great infrastructure. The ski school is excellent, our instructor Lucus was brilliant. Good learning area and magnificent views from the top of the mountain.When moving from green to blue slopes these could be narrow and off putting.

We really enjoyed this area. We had a beginner with us and it was great for offering good options of advancement for them and some epic blacks for us. Apre was so fun. So many options around the lifts and up the mountains. You can easily get to Zell at See (different resort) by ski also which is cool.

I have been to Gastein many name times and absolutely love it - such a beautiful place with natural hot springs - would really recommend !

Newly installed Gondolas at 2 maybe 3 locations with new lift stations including ski lockers. Some great red runs with wide and constant gradient. Found some really nice mountain restaurants for lunch not too expensive as we had good food and drink for less than 20euros each. Good and simple bus service to get you between the different ski areas. The swimming pool heated by thermal springs is worth visiting and very relaxingPlanning to go back again this year

Great resort for familys bad gastrien has more nightlife this is great for a good relaxing ski holiday with a thermal spa and lots to do off the slopes.

Great, nice quiet resort. Good for families wishing for a quiet ski trip with good runs. Ski lifts were also great and efficient.

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!

Came to Angertal as a beginner and really enjoyed it learning to ski in the practice zone, had a lovely ski down an easy blue after some practice but do wish they had more blues that dont overlap

Very good large resort, allowing for movement into Bad Hofgastein and Sportgastein. Bus routes allowing for further travelling to other resorts with discounts on the ski passes. Definitely will consider coming again

Brilliant resort Badhof Gastwein is more geared towards familys. Had gastric would be better for bigger pattys.
