"Non-stop to the top" is the motto in Gastein. 

In Gasteinertal, an unforgettable winter holiday awaits you. In all ski areas, you can easily reach the top directly without changing lifts. Enjoy the freedom of starting your day with a view of snow-capped peaks – all without long waiting times or complicated lift transfers. Simply immerse yourself and experience the magic of winter.

  • Schischaukel Dorfgastein/ Großarltal

  • Schlossalmbahn

  • Stubnerkogelbahn

  • Graukogelbahn

  • Sportgastein

Many cozy ski huts invite you to take a break, whether to enjoy a Kaiserschmarrn or hearty Kasnocken. To warm up, we recommend a hot Jagatee. Even off the ski slopes, there's plenty to experience in the enchanting winter landscape. Activities such as horse-drawn sleigh rides, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing are just a few examples.
