Overview
The Sonnenhotel is a peaceful hotel packed with traditional Austrian charm. There’s lots of natural wood from the restaurant to the bedrooms, which each come with a balcony to make the most of those winter-wonderland views.
When it’s time to sink your skis into the snow, you can hop straight on the free bus to get to the Schlossalmbahn gondola or Angertal nursery slopes in around 15 minutes. And as for those off-slope hours, it’s all about relaxing and unwinding. Chit chat over drinks and play a game of pool in the bar, or slow things down with a swim, sauna and hot-tub soak in the hotel’s Sternenreich Spa.

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.
