Bad Gastein is a very pathetic and expensive resort in the Gasteinertal region, located in a valley at an altitude of 1600 m, with an aristocratic clientele and the reputation of "mountain Monte Carlo". Its main feature is the opportunity to combine riding with healing in thermal springs
The resort picturesquely stretched in the shape of a horseshoe along the foot of the mountains, located on three levels. Here the architectural ensembles of the late 19th century are combined with the newest buildings and fit organically into the mountain landscape. One of the symbols of Bad Gastein is the waterfall, which is located in the heart of the resort. Another institution that has glorified Bad Gastein in the whole of Austria is the oldest mountain casino.
The ski season lasts from December to March. There are not many easy descents, so this area is recommended for advanced skiers, as well as those wishing to improve their health on thermal springs (plus radon baths, treatment in salt galleries, spas and beauty treatments).

Bad Gastein trails
At the resort - three ski areas: Stub the Necrugel - Schlossalm, Graukogel and Sportgastein. From the upper part of the city, from the railway station, the high-speed cable car to Stubnerkogel (1090-2230 m) begins. Soft "blue" slopes there often turn into steep "red" tracks, so skating is recommended only confidently on skis.
All trails of the area are available for "advanced" boarders. The passage to the Schlossalm mountain area (2050 m) is via Skizentrum Angertal (1175 m) - an excellent place for children's skiing and training.
The Graukogel region is in the shadow of the valley, so the snow here is of good quality even in thaw. On the forest clearings are laid two very decent tracks - "black" and "red" (with options). Skating here is not for beginners, and most of the lifts are outdated.
Sportgastein (1585-2650 m) is the highest and snowy place in the valley with an unpleasant reputation for an avalanche area (especially after heavy snowfalls). Get there better by bus (7 km). The tracks "black" and "red" are good for virgin skiing and downhill skiing
