About the area
Großarltal-Dorfgastein spreads about 51 km of pistes across two valleys in SalzburgerLand, and the split tells you who it is for: 44% of the runs (23 km) are green or blue, with 27 km of red and only about 1 km of black, or 2% of the area. That makes it a solid choice for beginners and families, helped by a magic carpet for first turns. Confident intermediates will find plenty of red terrain, but experts looking for steep marked runs or lift-served freeride will run out of options quickly.
Twenty lifts serve the area, including six gondolas — useful with small children, since there is no chairlift loading — plus seven chairlifts, five platters and a rope tow. Skiing runs from 847 m up to 2,027 m, so the best snow sits on the upper sections. The area is part of the Ski amadé network.
