Ski amadé from A to Z

Running on a flat surface can be done by almost anyone after a little training. But running uphill from peak to peak, over hill and dale, along narrow paths and steep trails to steep inclines - that is only something for true and highly motivated running freaks.
Those who take up the challenge will be rewarded with fantastic views and unique trails in the Hochkönig region.
Every year, exciting trail running events with numerous national and international participants provide an additional challenge.

Your restaurant in Bad Hofgastein: The Gastein Alm

‘Griaß Di’ ... is the motto for young and old in our Gastein Alm in Bad Hofgastein, the meeting place for locals and guests. A casual restaurant with the motto ‘modern, fresh, inviting, cosy, informal,...’. Fresh products from the region, simply well prepared - from crispy fried chicken, great pan-fried dishes, freshly caught trout, crunchy salads to the much-loved pizzas. With the unique flair of the Gastein Alm, in the Rauchkuchl for smokers and in the new Herzerlstube for smaller groups, life is simply good. A cosy atmosphere for a good meal, a nice evening or simply a drink at the bar.

‘Natural, fresh and high-quality’ ... these keywords describe the philosophy of our cuisine. Gastein specialities, Austrian classics but also modern, light dishes are freshly prepared for you using high-quality ingredients. The Gastein Alm is open daily from 11.30 am to 10.30 pm. (Hot meals from 12:00 to 21:30) Every Wednesday we have a day off.

Festalm – We know how to celebrate properly!
Our Festalm is the ideal venue for your event. Weddings, family celebrations, concerts, cabarets, exhibitions, theatre performances, flea markets, shows, parties ... We offer various seating arrangements, a large stage with professional technology, bookable with or without catering.
