Ski Lodges and Après-Ski in Gastein
Skiing in Gastein : Austrian Specialities and Winter Fun
After a full day of skiing in the Gastein Valley, you are certain to have worked up quite an appetite! Which leaves only one thing to do: step inside one of Gastein's warm, friendly and traditional ski lodges. Incidentally: Once you are up beyond the 1,000-metre mark, we drop all the formalities - you will make new friends before you know it, even if you are out and about on your own! The children keep busily occupied in their very own play corners, while you can kick back and relax out on the sunny terrace after having enjoyed a mouth-watering Salzburg-style meal! Or you might simply wish to take a time-out for a mug of "Hunt Tea", a hot beverage consisting of black tea, fruit schnapps and rum. By the way: This special drink is actually under the official protection of the European Union, enjoying special status as a "Typical Austrian Drink"! So, what more is there left to say but "Prost!".
Want to "hit the slopes" one more time in the evening? Why not! But this time, to party, dance and enjoy great entertainment! Après-Ski is an uncomplicated way of making new acquaintances for the next day of skiing. When evening sets in, Gastein's ski lodges and bars are the places to chat, enjoy and while away the hours. Fortify yourself with Salzburg specialties served by Gastein's innkeepers, then dance into the wee hours of the morning. Of course, the occasional flirt or two is also part of the picture!
