Großarl: Skiing and Accommodation

In Großarl, the Großarltal-Dorfgastein ski circuit, routes to the mountain lifts and the location of your accommodation are useful reference points when planning a ski holiday. Around 70 kilometres of perfectly groomed slopes, a free ski bus throughout the valley, an approximately three-kilometre-long toboggan run near Hotel Lammwirt and many hikes starting at the mountain station of the Kieserlbahn provide different considerations for planning.

Skiing on the ski circuit

The Großarltal-Dorfgastein ski circuit offers around 70 kilometres of perfectly groomed slopes. This figure gives a rough indication of the extent of the slope network. Travel time is also important when planning your day, as operating conditions can vary from season to season. So check the latest information for your planned travel period.

Routes to the mountain lifts

From the village of Großarl, lifts and cable cars are accessible without a long journey. A free ski bus also operates throughout the valley, taking passengers to the valley stations of the mountain lifts. These are two different reference points for planning your routes: accessibility from Großarl and the bus connection through the valley to the valley stations. For specific travel dates, it is a good idea to check the current timetable. When choosing accommodation, also factor in the route from there to the valley station that suits you. The valley stations are the ski bus destinations; the mountain station of the Kieserlbahn is the starting point for hikes.

Choose accommodation by location

Numerous accommodation options in Großarl are located right by the ski area. If this location is important to you, use it as a separate search criterion. For specific offers, check the location description and compare it with the routes you have planned. The fact that lifts and cable cars can be reached from the village of Großarl without a long journey provides a second point of reference. This lets you distinguish in your initial selection whether being right by the ski area or starting from the village matters more to you.

Consider tobogganing and hiking

The toboggan run near Hotel Lammwirt is approximately 3 kilometres long. This distance cannot be directly compared with the around 70 kilometres of ski slopes: the figures describe different offerings—a single toboggan run and the ski circuit’s network of slopes. If tobogganing is part of your plans, treat the run as a separate activity. Check the latest information about its availability before your visit.

The mountain station of the Kieserlbahn is a new starting point for many hikes. If you want to include hiking in your trip, this station provides another named reference point alongside the ski slopes and the toboggan run. The length of the ski slopes, the length of a toboggan run and a starting point for hikes describe different aspects of a stay.
