Location

The idyllic town of Dorfgastein is captivating not only for its central location but especially for its diverse range of activities. Dorfgastein also offers an impressive mountain backdrop. In addition, there are several interesting day-trip destinations in the vicinity of Dorfgastein waiting to be explored. Particularly recommended are the Klammstein Castle, approx. 4.1 km away, and the Alpentherme Gastein, 9.1 km away.
As soon as the first snowflakes have fallen, Dorfgastein reveals its winter splendor. The main focus is, of course, entirely on winter sports due to the proximity to the Ski Amadé ski region, which features a total of around 860 kilometers of slopes. Skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, and curling are just some of the activities you can enjoy. At the same time, there is the opportunity for snowtubing. The snow-covered landscape can be admired especially well during a winter hike with or without snowshoes, or on a ski tour. Tobogganing is also great fun.
In summer, the hotel is the ideal starting point for hikes and bike tours. The Gasteinertal hiking region is located directly at the property. The hiking bus stop is approx. 500 m away. The Dorfgastein mountain lifts can also be reached after approx. 500 m. You can engage in sports and enjoy the landscape simultaneously on a cycling path located directly at the property.

Seasonal information

The 5 towns of Salzburger Sportwelt, Großarltal, Hochkönig, Gasteinertal, and Dachstein together form the Ski Amade ski region, with only one ski pass required for all towns. The winter sports region has perfectly groomed slopes. When the floodlights are on, the slopes can also be beautifully skied at night. Various refreshment stops and, of course, après-ski opportunities ensure conviviality off the slopes as well as warming drinks and meals in between. A snow park and a toboggan run also promise plenty of fun.
