Overview

A no-fuss stay in the centre of the resort – that’s the Friedrichsburg Garni in a nutshell. You’re a few minutes’ walk from a ski bus stop, so getting to the slopes is simple. And once you’re done for the day, you can pop out for a saunter around the shops, a spot of ice skating or some sauna time in the huge Alpentherme Spa.

Pick one of the hotel rooms and you’ll get your first meal of the day included. Breakfasts are served buffet style, with continental classics like croissants and cold cuts to keep you going ‘til lunch. And then later on, it’s off out to explore the local restaurants. Or if you’d prefer to take care of your own cooking, go for one of the self-catering apartments instead.

About Bad Hofgastein

Largest connected skiing area in this area. Downhill runs with over 1000m difference in altitude promise varied piste fun – perfectly connected with modern lifts and cable cars. Ideal for skiing pleasure! We would recommend the Judau lift in the skiing centre in the Angertal Valley for beginners. Especially popular: the Hohe Scharte Nord (north) (marked on the piste plan as downhill run number H 1) – and with a length of 8 km and a difference in altitude of 1,440m it is one of the longest downhill runs in the Eastern Alps.

Hofgastein is a spa town as well, but is prettier with more traditional buildings and a traffic-free centre. It is mainly a hotel resort and most of the better eateries are found in the 50 or so hotels. For non-skiers there are lots of activities including the baths, but as with Bad Gastein some may not warm to the subdued ambience. It is also important to check the location of your accommodation, as that found in the centre has quicker access to the gondola and the skiing. There isn't too much to choose between the 2 resorts, but Hofgastein might just shade it, as it's prettier and closer to the slopes.
