The Grossarltal-Dorfgastein ski arena in the snowy Hohe Tauern mountains is another key part of the Ski amadé alliance and offers its own big range of terrain from wide gentle pistes, snow parks and fun slopes to the freeride challenges of the Himmelreich and the extra-long Bergland Route. This winter the Großarltal ski link to Dorfgastein is being further enhanced with 70 million euros currently being invested in a new 10-seater gondola as well as a new summit restaurant WOLKE7 which will offer regional specialties enhanced by 360° panoramic views.
At the base of the pistes, the two winter sports communities of Grossarl and Hüttschlag have plenty to offer beyond the downhill delights including snowshoeing, floodlit toboggan runs, horse-drawn sleigh rides, cross-country ski trails, winter hiking and much more.
Mum prefers the more inviting wide pistes, dad loves the freeride challenges of the Himmelreich and the extra-long Bergland Route. And while the two of them relax side-by-side out on the cozy sun terrace, their kids are busy zooming through the cool Snopark and down the Fun Slope. When everybody’s finally done with skiing, the whole family can pay a visit to one of our friendly ski huts with views of the snow-capped Hohe Tauern mountains, to enjoy a selection of popular regional dishes together.
Away from the pistes, the two winter sports communities of Grossarl and Hüttschlag attract visitors with a colorful selection of opportunities for sports & recreation. Active winter sports fans pull on their snowshoes or touring skis and make a beeline for the valley’s numerous expanses of high pastures and imposing summits. In addition, floodlit toboggan runs, horse-drawn sleigh rides, cross-country ski trails, winter hiking etc. provide all the variety you could wish for.
