Ski amadé from A to Z

Is one peak not high enough for you? Do you want to go even higher? Then come to the "Geisterturm", the viewing platform on the "Geisterberg". At a height of 14 metres, you have a fantastic 360° panoramic view of the ski slopes, including the Devil's Route, and the surrounding mountainous landscape. How does it make you feel looking down from such a height?

Tip: In the immediate vicinity of the viewing platform you will find another photo point where you can pose for a souvenir photo with Gspensti and Spuki, the friendly ghosts of Ghost Mountain.

Your restaurant in Bad Hofgastein: The Gastein Alm

A cosy atmosphere for a good meal, a nice evening or simply a drink at the bar.

Ski & Wine Enjoyment Week from 14th to 21st March, 2026

During the skiing and wine tasting week from March 14 to 21, 2026, we offer our guests at the Gastein Alm some special highlights. 

Mode / Sport / Tracht

Action and leisure fun for young and old! The mountain carts take you down the 5,5 km long track from the Laireiteralm to the middle station of the Grossarl cable cars.

From the Sonnalm, the toboggan path leads through the snow-covered coniferous forest in serpentines down to the hotel village of Zauchensee at 1,350 m. A gentle route with a constant gradient.

Price per sledge: € 4.00; Use of the toboggan run is free!

Accessibility: on foot (4 km. Walking time approx. 1:15 h)

Opening times: 9.30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

It is our aim to implement the "art of simplicity" in the kitchen and service. To prepare traditional and well-tried things with love. Forget the daily grind for a while and enjoy the wonderful view of the Grießenkar in Flachau, the Bischofsmütze in Filzmoos and the imposing Dachstein massif in the Schladming-Dachstein holiday region or our local mountain, the Lackenkogel.

Our mountain inn with its cozy and unique atmosphere is ideal for celebrations for families, for baptisms, weddings, birthdays or simply to stop off after a hike.

The kid's cross country ski park offers this variety. There is a large snow hill for ascents and downhills, even through gates and over jumps and other obstacles. Ball games, relays or running games can be played on this ski-playground.

Delicious culinary delights with a magnificent view on the Kaiblingalm ski trail

d'Genussalm is located directly on the ‘Kaiblingalm-Skiweg 6A’ piste - the connecting piste to the most wonderful runs on Hauser Kaibling. d'Genussalm is one of the AlmSkihütten and is one of a total of 16 huts on Hauser Kaibling.

In a comfortably modern hut ambience incl. sun terrace with a fantastic view of the Dachstein massif, connoisseurs get their money's worth with Kaiserschmarren and hot chocolate. You don't want to leave there? Then on top of that you can secure one of the new apartments, in rustic cozy style and equipped with all amenities.

Recommendation:

• Sun terrace with Dachstein view
• Comfortable vacations on the alp

Enjoy the sun on a deck chair between descents and still have a direct view of the popular east slope descent from the summit? Sounds great, doesn't it? It is our opinion too!

The sunny Bergschlössl right at the exit point of the Höfi Express II invites you to enjoy, linger and have fun.

Recommendations

• "Steirer-Jaus´n" with cheese sausage wrapped in bread dough
• Homemade apple or cheese strudel
• Every day 'Happy Hour' from 14:00 to 15:00 h.
