Bad Hofgastein ski resort
Bad Hofgastein lies in one of the more open and sunnier parts of the Gasteinertal, where the valley widens before rising into the neighboring resort of Bad Gastein.

Schlossalm - Angertal - Stubnerkogel
860 - 2,300 m above sea level
The Bad Hofgastein ski area is on the Schlossalm and reaches an altitude of 2300 m on the western side of the valley. It is connected to the Bad Gastein ski resort via the Angertal ski resort.

Like its more famous neighbor to the south, Bad Hofgastein is a spa town with thermal baths and an extensive ski area. But the destination itself is more of a traditional Austrian resort style, rather than the more historic and urban setting of Bad Gastein.

City description and history:
Bad Gastein (formerly Badgastein) is a spa and winter sports resort with 3,990 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2019) in the Gastein Valley, in the district of St. Johann im Pongau, in the Austrian state of Salzburg. It is picturesquely located in the high valley of the Visoke Tura mountain range, it is known for the Gasten waterfall and various hotel buildings from the Belle Époque period.

Bad Hofgastein was originally the main administrative town, market and court (hence the Hof in the name) in the Gastein Valley.

The location was one of the reasons - it was located on an important trade route through Austria between Northern Europe and Italy. Another important mining industry was in the mountains around the settlement.

As the minerals ran out, the town declined until the thermal baths flourished in the 19th century (along with the more 'adventurous' radon pools). The ski area was opened in the late 1940s and has since been expanded and connected to the neighboring Bad Gastein area.

Most of the hotel accommodation can be found around the center of the pedestrianized village, but there are also some in smaller hamlets up and down the valley.
