My Gastein experience
Away from the groomed slopes, sporty adventures and intense encounters with nature await those who appreciate the peaceful side of winter. Step by step, pristine ascents lead to spectacular viewpoints.
The region’s special advantage: Thanks to its favourable altitude, high-alpine ski tours are often possible well into spring. Perfect conditions for making the most of the winter season!
From beginners to seasoned pros, the Gastein valley offers rewarding tours for every skill level. Those who want to give the sport a try will find well-marked beginner routes, for example, at Stubneralm or around Lake Spiegelsee. More experienced ski tourers can take on the more challenging routes at Fulseck or Schlossalm. And if you prefer to stay close to the groomed slopes, there are free ski touring routes available on Graukogel.
Alongside a healthy respect for nature, good preparation is the key ingredient for safe ski tours. Before setting off, always check the weather and avalanche reports, go over your chosen route and make sure you have the required safety equipment – including an avalanche transceiver, a probe and a shovel. For even greater safety, join a guided tour with an experienced mountain guide who knows the terrain and leads you through the varied landscape.
