Hotel Hubertushof

Großarl is a popular winter sports village with an old-fashioned, cosy, and typically Austrian atmosphere. There are also many facilities available for children, and no long queues for the ski lifts. A car is also not a must in Großarl: all shops, restaurants, etc. are within walking distance, as is the ski lift. The fashionable and bustling Gastein Valley also lies on the other side of the pistes, and is reachable by lift and ski.

Small-scale

The special thing about Großarl, which is located in its own valley, is that its accommodations try to blend harmoniously into the natural environment. Most accommodations are therefore small-scale, which emphasizes the cosy character of the village even more. So, you’ll find no high-rise apartment buildings here, but plenty of atmospheric and characterful hotels, with stunning views of the breath-taking nature.

The massive ski region of Ski Amadé is ideal for ski holidays and consists of five different areas: Salzburger Sportwelt, Hochkönig Winterreich, Schladming-Dachstein, Gastein and Grossartal. Together, they account for around 270 lifts and 860km of perfectly prepared runs. These ski areas are among the best in the world. The world champions are held here regularly, meaning if it’s good enough for the professionals then skiing in Ski Amadé is good enough for everyone.

Ski holidays in the Ski Amadé region benefit from long seasons and the Dachstein Glacier makes the Schadming-Dachstein ski area relatively snow-sure meaning you can usually ski until late April. If, for any reason, there should be less snow than expected, don’t fret, the snow canons will cover up to 88% of the slopes with beautiful white-powder snow making skiing in Ski Amadé possible in any weather condition.

One thing that makes skiing in Ski Amadé special, is the ability to stay connected and share live updates to your social media friends and followers. There are around 300 WiFi hotspots located in the valley, the mountain stations, the huts and the restaurants on the slopes. The WiFi hotspots are also great for planning your ski route for the day. With the Ski Amadé ski pass you can ski in all five areas and use the public transport system to get from one area to another.
