Poster: A snowHead

Anybody know anything about Gross Arl in Austria?
What's the skiing like, where to stay, where to go, etc
My German colleagues are planning a weekend trip in January but don't seem to know much about it

Shhhhh don't talk too loudly or everyone will want to go there! Great little village at the end of a long and winding road (first time you drive there), good skiing with a variety of pistes including linking across to Bad Dorfgastein
The locals spell it Großarl so take a look at Bergfex under that spelling and take a look at it. Often has availability when other areas in the Ski Amadé do not because everyone overlooks it.

Mountain is part of Gastein valley skiing, although as you can see on a piste map from the link above, you will be on a wrong side for easy trips to other areas, Bad Hofgastein is doable though.
We skied there for one day accessing from Dorfgastein side and I really liked it. Some nice pistes, very modern lifts, lovely huts with great food etc.... Should be enough for a weekend trip.
I would def go back there for a few days for skiing, we did not see the village.

I've been, it's lovely. Enjoyed the skiing and the food on the mountain was excellent! The pistes link to Dorfgastein,
extending the ski area. A weekend there would be excellent for keen high mileage types, but we could easily stay for a week.
Lots more skiing an easy drive away in Bad Gastein/Bad Hoffgastein.
Cheers Geoff

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

It's lovely skiing above Grossarl. Great flowing pistes for belting along, lovely huts as Tom W says. We always spend a day there when we're in Gastein.
