A winter in Gastein also has lots to offer away from the ski slopes. Hiking on superbly maintained winter trails, riding on the back of a horse-drawn sleigh through winter landscapes covered deep in snow, setting out on snow shoes for an almost silent journey of discovery, zipping down a 3.3 km-long sledding hill (even after dark) from the Aeroplanstadl to the valley below, making your way along some 90 km of groomed cross-country ski trails, or spending a fun-filled day down at the ice rink or trying your hand at a Alpine curling.
