Gastein Slope

Winter Holidays in Bad Hofgastein & Gasteinertal

Snow, Skiing, and Winter Experiences around Zittrauerhof

When snow covers the meadows and mountains, Gasteinertal in SalzburgerLand shows its winter side. Skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, tobogganing, winter hiking, and snowshoe tours provide varied holiday days – and after a day outside, the warm thermal water of the Gastein thermal spas awaits.

The Zittrauerhof is located on the valley floor between Bad Hofgastein and Bad Gastein, making it particularly convenient for a winter farm holiday in Gastein. The Schlossalm, Angertal and Stubnerkogel ski areas in Gasteinertal are only a few kilometers away. They are also easy to reach by bus or car. Gasteinertal is also part of the Ski amadé area, so you can enjoy over 800 kilometers of slopes with just one ski pass.

Skiing in Gastein on 180 Kilometers of Slopes

The Gastein ski area offers around 180 kilometers of slopes across three different ski areas. Right at Bad Hofgastein, the Schlossalm–Angertal–Stubnerkogel ski area combines varied runs with modern mountain lifts. There is also the family-friendly Dorfgastein–Großarltal ski circuit and the high-alpine Sportgastein, which reaches up to 2,650 meters and is thus the highest ski area in Ski amadé.

From Zittrauerhof you can reach the Schlossalm cable car base station in about 2.5 kilometers. Angertal and other access points to the ski area are also quickly accessible by car or ski bus. This makes our farm an ideal starting point for a ski holiday in Bad Hofgastein – and at the same time a cozy retreat after an active day in the Gastein mountains.
