 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I'll be travelling to the Gastein region from the 9th to the 12th of March.
No one could join me cause I booked very last minute so I'll be going alone, was wondering if anyone here is in the region at that time and would like to meetup.
Would love to ski some (relatively) easy powder but rather not go at it alone. Also, if anyone knows what the current snow conditions are, would love to know!

We’re only there in early April and don’t ski off-piste so we’re no good to you but I think the area just had a decent dump over the last few days with a bit more forecast, @ElzP might be in the area at the moment so maybe best to advise.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I booked a days off piste in Bad Gastein in March 2020 with a ski school. I did not do the day as I was not well. It was a group session so circa 100 euros. I do not have the name of the ski school but I recollect they did normal lessons too. Google is your friend.

@Leplazerus, can't help much on the off piste though Sportgastein is the place - bus from Bad Gastein easy. Dorfgastein had some nice side piste if it's just snowed, but not sure about proper off piste routes.
The valley run various activities which you might fancy if you're flying solo, including a touring intro. The tourist office have a booklet with all the activities in, ir they'll have it in your hotel. Here's a couple of links that might help for starters:

It snowed just before we left (26th Feb) and was great for at least a couple of days. The weather has been really warm since, so lower down will be looking brown (and was before it snowed!) But, it's meant to snow this week, and potentially stay a bit colder, so you might be in luck!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@ElzP, thanks so much for this! I'll check out Sportgastein indeed, I'd read something about the bus but wasn't sure, this comfirmation is great.
Great few links you sent, that will definitely help me out.
Well I'm indeed keeping an eye on the forecast and it does seem like there will fall some snow this week, let's hope it stays!
Thanks again for the relpy!!
