Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability
Bad Hofgastein offers 82.7 km of well-marked runs, a medium-sized ski area that is ideal for spending 4 to 5 days without ever doing exactly the same thing twice. The 17 lifts are generally sufficient to cope with the crowds in high season. Bad Hofgastein's reputation as a family resort is well deserved: dedicated beginner areas, a well-organised childcare service, well-maintained green runs and a friendly atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It is one of the most reassuring resorts in the Northern Alps for laying the foundations of skiing with children. The altitude of Bad Hofgastein (860 m at the bottom, 2,300 m at the top) helps it maintain decent snow cover in midwinter. January and February are the most reliable months; in December and March, it is worth checking conditions before finalising a booking. A stay in Bad Hofgastein is clearly expensive: €79 for a day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the most expensive in the Alps. It is the price of excellence, but you should be aware of it before you go. In short, Bad Hofgastein lives up to its promises. A Northern Alps resort that will suit most skiers without disappointing.
