Skiområde Bad Gastein - Graukogel / Ski amade

Unforgettable challenges amidst a majestic winter landscape:
At the Graukogel ski area, natural snow dominates the winter sports experience on 14 kilometers of ski runs and lift operation from Thursday to Sunday. Devoid of artificial snow, the Graukogel is a beloved destination for ski tourers and experienced skiers. The exhilarating steep slopes, weaving through the enchanting stone pine forest, make for a wind-shielded and wonderful skiing experience.

The forest on Graukogel offers an ideal opportunity for a sporty retreat. Weekly stone pine snowshoe tours, along with the two well-loved ski touring routes, Graukogel and Zirbenroas Graukogel, invite you to revel in this natural treasure to the fullest.
