grossarl austria
The remote Grossarl valley was originally settled by farmers looking for land to graze their animals in the middle of the mountain scenery. The main village of Grossarl grew rapidly with the expansion of the mining in the Middle Ages, but also suffered badly from outbreaks of the plague and from poverty.
Since the main road into the valley was built, winter and summer tourism has expanded and the Grossarl/Dorfgastein ski area is one of the most pleasant unspoilt areas to sample in this part of the Alps.
Most of the hotels in the valley are at the base of the lifts in Grossarl,
or in one of the nearby villages such as Eben, Au or Hüttschlag.
