Where the soul meets nature

Where better to revive than in the fresh snowy splendor of nature - like on Dorfgastein's local mountain. On the Fulseck adventure mountain, winter and snow hikes are a relaxing alternative to otherwise action-packed skiing. Those who are not only addicted to the height of the summit, but also appreciate the atmosphere here, will be charmingly rewarded. In addition to breathtaking views over the main Alpine ridge, real winter fans will fall under the spell of the landscape with joy. Step by step.
Ski tour on the Fulseck adventure mountain
Skinning in Dorfgastein
Walking up to the mountain peak on skins-covered skis, enjoying the snow and the exertion - what was reserved for endurance athletes and alpine enthusiasts not so long ago is now capturing the hearts of many winter sports fans - even in the Gastein Valley. In fact, piste ski tours fulfill a variety of needs: a winter fitness session, a social event before or after work or simply a short break from everyday life. Fell walkers take note: In Dorfgastein, the signs point to almost 580 meters of touring fun!
Walking tall
Snowshoe trail Dorfgastein
Once you've done it, you'll never get enough of it! Hiking with snowshoes trains the entire musculoskeletal system evenly - and still leaves time for inner peace to give the surroundings the attention they deserve. Snowshoeing on the Fulseck is an experience in glorious silence. If you want to be at one with nature, take the signposted snowshoe trail from the Gipfelbahn-Fulseck mountain station via the Arltörl to the middle station. Of course, the trail can also be taken the other way up - from the middle station up to the mountain station. The highest point at 2,027 meters rewards you with a view of the 3,000-metre peaks of the Hohe Tauern to the south.
Thrills or charming tradition
Horse-drawn sleigh ride or paragliding
Glide across the snow-covered landscape and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Take a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride through the idyllic village and feel the cozy atmosphere. Whether you opt for the thrill of paragliding or the charming tradition of a horse-drawn sleigh ride - these two activities offer unforgettable winter experiences for all tastes. Experience Dorfgastein from a completely new perspective from the air or on a horse-drawn sleigh.
