Your Deluxe Skiing Holidays in the Grand Park Hotel Bad Hofgastein

Gliding on powder snow down endless pistes - skiing is Austria's National Sport. The winter sport on two "Brettln" [skis] is paid tribute here. Thus, whatever your skiing heart desires, you'll find it here in Gastein!

Did you know that the Salzburger ski area Amadé comprises an unbelievable 860 km of piste runs and 270 lifts across 25 villages? The Gastein Valley with its ski resorts Dorfgastein, Bad Hofgastein and Sportgastein is part of this enormous linked skiing area and opens up a host of possibilities for you. The Grand Park Hotel has put together a wide range of package deals for your winter holidays in Gastein, including a VIP skiing kit that is at your disposal should you require it. By the way: skiing is a particularly healthy sport. It improves your fitness and strengthens your muscles - and not just the legs'. So, if you would like to learn this wonderful sport, the Gastein Valley is the ideal place to do so. The same goes, of course, for all those who have taken to snowboarding - or would like to have a go. Snowboarders feel right at home on the deep snow slopes and mogul pistes of the Gastein Valley.

A visitors' ski bus stops almost directly outside the entrance of the Grand Park Hotel. This bus takes you in less than 2 minutes to the Schlossalmbahn [Alp Castle Tram], the central access lift to the skiing region Gastein. The Gastein winter sports facilities are perfectly maintained: the region's ski guides recommend the best and most beautiful routes, countless huts, restaurants and inns offer typical regional delicacies to gain back your strength during a hard day's skiing. In the evening the Grand Park Hotel Bad Hofgastein provides a sterling alternative to your usual après-ski hurly-burly. Enjoy select wines or hot drinks at the open fire place in the Hotel's lounge - or pay a visit to the Grand Park Spa, our new wellness oasis covering a massive 2,000 square metres.
