There are a good variety of slopes, particularly blue and red slopes. If you are looking for advanced and black slopes, this is not the area for you. We were on a family holiday with very good skier..

Dorfgastein Grossarltal is best understood as a family progression base: easier terrain, moderate gradients and usable access make progression the strongest structural story.

46% blue pistes

2% black pistes

Progression-focused trips where easier and moderate terrain form a large part of the usable mountain.

Advanced skiers seeking a strongly technical profile may find the terrain mix less distinctive.
