Dorfgastein is the first of the ski resorts in the Gasteinertal and is situated close to the entrance of the Gastein valley just after where the road to Bad Hofgastein and Bad Gastein emerges from the tunnel.
Dorfgastein is a small and traditional village, with a number of hamlets which also offer accommodation such as Unterberg and Klammstein located nearby.

About Dorfgastein Ski Resort
Dorfgastein was originally the toll collection point for the valley in the Middle Ages (a former trade route from Italy to Austria runs through the Gasteinertal) and the point of administration of the mining activities in the valley. The fortress – Burg Klammstein – at the entrance to the valley is a reminder of these days.
Although the better-known neighbouring resorts are more popular and probably more lively, Dorfgastein is easier to get to and can boast a village charm as well as a decent ski area of its own.
The Dorfgastein ski area rises to the Kreuzkogel and Fulseck at an altitude of just over 2000m. The ski area connects into the area above Grossarl on the other side of the mountain range.
The Gasteinertal (the Gastein valley) is relatively easy to access, with good road and rail connections. The most convenient airport is Salzburg airport.
