Großarltal-Dorfgastein Ski Resort Austria
Dorfgastein combines with Großarl to provide a fun-filled addition to any ski trip to the Gastein valley. Long pistes, better than expected alpine freeride terrain & loads of mountain huts are quintessentially Austrian. We rate Großarltal-Dorfgastein as one of the best après ski mountains in Austria. On either side of the resort, there are multiple, top to bottom après ski bar locations where one can stop and have a little fun.
Skiing & snowboarding at Dorfgastein-Grossarltal includes around 70km of marked ski trails & routes, a longest run of 8km; 1,165m of skiable vertical; a highest lifted point of 2,033m; and all served by 16 gondolas, chairlifts & surface tows. Added to this, we found the alpine off-piste terrain on the backside of Fulseck summit to be wonderful and found good tree skiing as well. On a storm day, when the upper mountain zones at Bad Gastein & Sportgastein are closed, come to Dorfgastein instead.

Grossarltal & Dorfgastein Accommodation
With base villages in both the Gasteinertal & Großarltal, there is plenty of choice when it comes to ski holiday accommodation in the region. In Großarltal, Grossarl has loads of luxury accommodation & guesthouses near the two ski lift bases, some with ski-in convenience. On the opposite side of the hill, Dorfgastein, plus the nearby Bad Hofgastein & Bad Gastein, has a multitude of lodging options, including several grand old 5-star hotels, plus a few budget hostels & guesthouses as well. For the best access to a wide variety of ski terrain, we recommend staying in the Gasteinertal.
