What visitors say about the resort

The praise is for grooming and lift capacity: the pistes are wide, immaculately prepared and roomy enough for proper carving, and reviewers report waits of no more than about three minutes. Snowmaking covers almost the whole area, and guests single out the courteous staff, the mountain huts and the standard of the ski schools. In an international resort test run by 220 experts from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the area finished second.

Price is the first thing to draw criticism: a day pass sits at the top end of the Austrian market, and a fair share of reviews say plainly that the experience does not justify the money. The second recurring gripe is the lack of difficulty - black pistes are few and the terrain is gentle by local standards, with experienced skiers comparing it unfavourably with nearby Sportgastein. Anyone chasing steeps is pointed elsewhere in the Gastein valley.
