Looking for the perfect winter holiday? Not looking for skiing, but rather cross-country skiing? BadGastein offers a range of cross-country skiing options at around 1000 metres, so it could be the right choice for you.

It is possible to go cross-country skiing anywhere in the entire Gastein valley. However, sufficient snow is a prerequisite. In the event of poor snow conditions, there is no need to descend mind. In fact, it is possible to go to some areas where there are groomed and illuminated trails. There are up to 50 kilometres of groomed cross-country ski trails.

In the Sportgastein area, the cross-country skiing trails are located at an altitude of 1,600 metres above sea level. There is a fantastic winter landscape. There are several trails of varying lengths, and both classic and skating enthusiasts can find a place here.

In the resort of Agertal, at an altitude of around 1,200 metres above sea level, there are trails for more experienced cross-country skiers. The classic trails here are 3 and 6.5 km long. The skating track is 1.5 km long. Thanks to its location, the conditions are almost always perfect. The trails lead through an idyllic forest and a beautiful valley.

For cross-country skiing in the evening, the Böckstein is a hit, where it is possible to ski until 9:30 in the evening, because the trails are illuminated. The trails here are mild to moderately difficult. The trails are at an altitude of 1,100 metres above sea level. It is possible to ride both classic and skating.

The lowest area is Bad Hofgastein, where you can find Achenloipe, which is 860 metres above sea level. The trail here is 4 kilometres long and is suitable for both skaters and classic skiers. The profile of the track is suitable for all cross-country skiers, so there is only a slight ascent and descent. Other trails can be found in Kurparkloipe. Here there is a 1.5 km long circuit which is usually covered with artificial snow and can be ridden under artificial lighting until 10 pm. The last track is the Sportplazloipe, which is less demanding and offers a 2.5 km long circuit. You can even find a cross-country ski school here, but sport cross-country skiers will also find it to their liking.

There's no need to wait, get to Bad Gastein as soon as possible so you can try out all the trails on offer. We will be happy to accommodate you in our AlpenHeart residence.
