How to ski in Bad Hofgastein
From Bad Hofgastein at 857 metres, a gondola takes you straight up to Schlossalm, and this is where beginners and families find their feet. The area around Schlossalm and on into Angertal is dominated by wide blue pistes, open and easy to read, with plenty of room for anyone who has just learned to turn. It is also here that most of the lift system is built to funnel people, which makes the morning easy to plan from the village.
The more demanding terrain lies higher up towards Stubnerkogel, where the piste map shows steeper sections and the few black runs in the system. It becomes clear here that Bad Hofgastein is fundamentally a red-piste resort, with just over half of all 83 kilometres being red, so anyone after a proper challenge needs to seek out this particular flank rather than expect large expanses of black.
The beauty of the map is how Schlossalm, Angertal and Stubnerkogel connect via the ski circuit that continues on towards Bad Gastein. It is therefore possible to ski a long circuit through the whole system without having to take the same lift twice, and an active day is more than enough to sample several sectors.
The vertical drop between the village and the 2 300 metre summit is substantial, so bear in mind that snow quality is often best on the higher lifts around Stubnerkogel, while the slopes closest to Bad Hofgastein can turn soft in the middle of the day. The link points between Angertal and Schlossalm also tend to attract the longest queues when everyone heads the same way after lunch.
