Bad Gastein reviews (Page 3)

Have been to Bad Gastein several times but also other places in France and Italy. The last time was on the 2nd of 2014 and it seems that the queues have almost disappeared since they built the new cabins on Stubnerkogel. The biggest advantage, however, is the easy-to-reach off-piste both at Sportgastein and Stubnerkogel, which is also unexplored the first hour as it is in Chamonix and St. Anton. Since I was there last year 2009, there have been several really professional guide schools that can take you to a really good off-piste yacht without having to hike for hours. Even the ski buses have become better so all in all, I can recommend Bad Gastein for those who want to ski both in the back and outside. Nightlife is good and you can relive the youth at places like Haeggbloms but also enjoy good food and drinks in the new place Ginger's'Gin. Does Bad Gastein like to pay much attention to his nightlife but I think it's terribly underestimated for his skiing!

Bad Gastein. great place if you want to find an alternative to sports or branäs. You notice directly that the village does not circle war skiing without even more at the hotels. Most hotels are over half a mile away from the lifts. skiing is not much to brag with it is possible to go, but snow was missing in most of the slopes. admittedly not all skiing is bad there are some longer runs and they are often crowded.
For those who want to ski on your skiing holiday, do not go to Bad Gastein.
we stayed at the hotel eden and the hotel is like the slopes. (quite bad) what I had heard, the oath would have a good kitchen, that was something I was looking forward to when I had half board. but I did not say the food was unclean, so I longed for the school food you received in elementary school.

nightlife: I thought there were 2 places to go to in the evening and they were silver bullet and haegbloms. On silver, the average age was 35+ and on haegblom 20+ but it was very sunk.


+ good weather
+ good sales
+ ALL customer Swedish (do not know if it's a real plus)
+ service minded staff

-skidåkningen
lift systems
food (could not find anything but French on the slopes if you do not want to pay 300 kr per lunch)
very bad skiers on the slopes

Bad Gastein was the best trip out of my 13 year old life with maybe 15 different trips on my neck. It was a wonderful weather and climate. The sun shines constantly and it felt like in paradise. We stayed at the world-famous Hotel Salzburger Hof which offered everything from good food to whirlpool, a sick big swimming pool and great meals. I who had only ski 3 times before of which 1 was sick all week, I was not in a top shape when I was on the skis right away. So I went to a ski school all week I went from riding the blue hill a little bit wrong to get red and even black without problems. More about what I did and more about skiing and the presidency. The ski slopes were very well looked after and the staff that helped were always nice and almost always said "good luck" (how to spell it) haha. but unfortunately, at the bottom of the tree line, it was a bit lighter and more obvious but guess why? the whole ski school for those who were a little more amateurs than me went there all day :( everything for me, worth a visit clearly!

Bad Gastein is small Sweden in Austria. It's a lot of party and all "cool" are there.
Good skiing, it's a very big place.
It's definitely a good ski resort, but if you want to come from all Swedes this is not the place you should go to. But are they good and affordable skiing you're looking for then Bad Gastein is a great place.

Have been to Bad Gastein 2 times, the first time was early in the season but it was quite okay ..
The second time it was a good ride, a bit of ice. But after a proper dump of snow it would probably be more intreesant driving ...

Just come home and find out that BG is not really for me. A lot of parties, almost only Swedes and 80% of the system have artificial snow, and while the food is OK, one must look for something really good, especially in the slopes. But I think people go there. But there are some pearls. Graukogel, no snow cannons, amazing slopes, almost no skiers (probably because of the ancient, rather slow lifts). Sportgastein, especially skiers left. The restaurant at the Jungeralm lift actually cooks food - not a gulash soup from giant cans from Knorr. Great. And the beer is both good and cheap everywhere,

I was lucky enough to go down twice now at the beginning of the year.
At first I was there v.3 and v.5, it was my 7th time I was in Bad Gastein.
A wonderful ski resort for those who are in the mood for offpiste, though, I have to say that below the tree line it becomes quite grim.

If you want the best skiing and off-piste it's sport gastein and badgastein to move around, there are a lot of places that are not touched and one can easily be the first to make wonderful trails in the snowmobile. Bad Gastein and Bad Hofgastein are interconnected due to angularity and they are the only mountains in the valley that you can travel between with lifts without having to take a bus.
Sportgastein also has the best pistil fans in the valley and the feeling is wonderful when you see that there are some people in the slopes "mostly because people are too lazy to take the bus which takes about 20 minutes)

The different resorts are
Bad Gastein (Angertal - lift)
Bad Hofgastein (Angertal lift)
Dorfgastein (Bus)
Sportgastein (Bus)

Something about skiing even if it's the best with the whole place. Think there are enough people to find out how it is, but I can also say that we were very lucky with the weather v.3 when we got sunshine with a lot of snow all week and v, 5 with 4 sun days and 3 a little worse.

The nightlife:
The nightlife beats most, if you have been to Val Thorens, you wonder if you have come to heaven kingdom. Looking for the best after skis, "for youngsters" where everyone sings and the tuning is at high level, then you should move to heagblooms that are right across the street from the Shell Mack, completely cruel after skiing, both the silver bullet and Eden .

When I and our Polar were there v.5, we spent our night out mainly hanging around Gatz, Silver Bullet and Eden. Wonderful places, however, depending on the people who are there of course. There are a lot of unexplored little pubs a little further down the village that I would recommend to check out.

Still about the nightlife, we lived at the sports hotel adler, or as some others called it a German onion hotel.
If you are looking for some cheap but minimal roof over your head and a surface of 4 square meters, you should live there, to say that the four mansions are extremely small while the two men's rooms are large.

A little tired now, just returned from BG, so go get me haha ​​:)
But please write if you have questions. can answer most of the time!

Was in Badgastein late January 2009.
Although Badgastein is not at a particularly high altitude, there was surprisingly much snow.
The best rides are found in Sport Gastein, nice off-piste, yet wind-sensitive area. Blowing it in Badgastein then blowing it into hell in Sportgastein.

Fine forest skiing on the Graukogel side, the most beautiful slopes do not attract very many.

If you feel tired of fatigue, you can drive the 13 kilometer slope at the Schlossalm

Overall, skiing is very good.

The downside of the resort is everything Busy. Bus to Sportgastein, Bus to Graukogel, Bus to Dorfgastein.

If you are lucky you can stay at Haus Winkler. Got the clothes washed and that the place is next to the Stubnerkogelift so you do not have to go long walks compared to staying at Eden or SalzburgerHof

Gestainertal offers varied rides carry all levels. Dorfgastein (where I lived) is a disappointment, both snowy and yesterday. The gold climbing pairs are Bad Hoffgastein and Sportgastein !! Sportgastein offers world-class off-piste if the snow conditions are good.

+ Sportgastein
+ Bad Gasteins city
+ The lift pass applies to the entire ski amade, which is a big advantage

-Dorfgastein
-all Swedish (you want to feel abroad)

but nevertheless an absolute good place worth a visit,

P.S 4 gets it for the sport

I was in the guest end of the sport year 06. Absolutely ok place according to me good and smooth lift system, lots of new lifts. Nice atmosphere and nightlife. The village of Badgastein resembles more an alp village, a bath, Hofgastein and Dorfgastein. The finest ride is in Bad Hofgastein and Sportgastein which is the best lantern if you want to sneak off. The peaks are around 2000 meters and there is plenty of snow on the top, but the slopes below the woodline are often icy and upright.

There are quite a lot of Danes who have never been on the skis so you should be careful about the interest rate, anyone can drive on a rear view.

Badgastein is the most beautiful of the villages and is also a famous spa resort.
If you go around Christmas, do not miss the Christmas table at Zalsburg N Hof, a must.
Gastein is a good ski area with lots of variety and fun skiing.
But, as said, it's not one of the best ski resorts in the Alps but still has to be met.

Although the resort is a tourist machine, one can not stop under a chair that Badgastein is measuring as a high-class ski resort.

Lots of Scandinavians, Swedes overrepresented!

Positively:

* Sportgastein! A great system, very snow proof.
* Dorfgastein. An underestimated lift system that's how ballt like pouring!
* Many nice hotels, pedantry of Swedes
* Funny afterski, where you can not * only * be forced to listen to German house makers, playing international music that seems to be in short supply in Austria!
* Luxury feel in the village. Many nice restaurants
* Felsenbad. Amazingly nice to swim in the hot springs

negative:
* The Swedes totally dominates the cityscape. Be fun with a little more international environment
* The best ski areas are in my opinion at both ends of the valley. Stubnerkogl and Bad Hofgastein closest to me, I have never been really impressed by (but I have probably had a bad luck).
