Overview
Modern meets traditional at the Hotel Bristol, a popular pick on the edge of Bad Gastein. The rooms have a minimalist look, with pictures of mountains and wicker flower vases to catch your eye. It’s the same story in the dining room, which has white walls and big windows to keep things bright and airy. The service is classic Austrian though – friendly and down-to-earth from the moment you arrive.
In the mornings, getting to the slopes is simple. Just step outside and get on the free ski bus for a 3-minute ride to the Stubnerkogel gondola. And if you fancy a night out, you’re 10 minutes’ walk from the resort centre.
The hotel’s Stazione Alpe-Adria bar serves up all kinds of drinks, from cocktails to beers, with regular live bands and DJ nights to add music to the mix. Or if low-key’s more your style, you can play pool or some board games in the lounge.

About Bad Gastein
Located 90km from Salzburg and train-linked, Bad Gastein is one of the most well-known spa towns in Austria. Located at the centre of the Gastein Valley ski area, which has four domains totalling 250km of pistes. Bad Gastein and Bad Hofgastein are lift linked but the rest of the resorts in the Gastein ski area are not. The region is home to the brand new Schlossalmbahn - a modern gondola capable of carrying 3,000 people an hour that runs non-stop to the top of the mountain.The skiing favours good intermediates with lots of challenges and tree-lined skiing. For experts, there is a wide range of off-piste and great powder can be found on the Kreuzkogel. There is also the World Cup downhill run to test the best. Beginners aren't overly catered for, with the easier slopes spread around the area, even though the ski school has a good reputation. You can't ski to your door and you'll have to take a bus to the lifts. Boarders have only just been provided with a park and half-pipe, but they could find the high number of draglifts a bit of a challenge.
There are very good facilities for accommodation and restaurants, for non-skiers and for après-ski in general. Nightlife is quite sophisticated and prices are predominantly high. The 'bath and beer' option is very popular for afternoon après-ski. Transfer times are minimal from Salzburg, but you might not like the resort traffic and the irregular bus links to the skiing. Overall, Bad Gastein is an excellent base for the whole winter experience, but its few disadvantages won't please beginners and families.
