Dorfgastein in winter
The idyllic village offers the perfect setting for an unforgettable winter vacation for young and old. Whether on the perfectly groomed ski slopes in the direct ski area of Dorfgastein-Großarltal, ski touring or a speedy ride on the Early Winter Mountaincart at sunrise - winter sports enthusiasts will find ideal conditions here. At 2,033 meters above sea level on the Fulseck, an impressive mountain panorama opens up, providing winter lovers with unforgettable moments on and off the slopes.

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!

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.
