Night skiing Gosau
Night is turned into day in the Dachstein West ski area, as Gosau offers a small night ski area. At Ötscherlift, the bottom section of the valley run is illuminated for night skiing one a week. The approx. 1 km night ski piste is marked a red slope. As part of the night ski offer, Brumsipiste nearby the Hornspitzbahn lift's valley station is also illuminated for beginners and children. Both pistes can be used in the extended opening hours from 18:30 - 20:30. The Hornspitz umbrella bar invites you stay at the end of your night skiing evening. The Ötscher area also offers a racing track as well as the Ötscher Kids Park with steep curves and wavy track.Après ski Gosau
Gosau is a rather traditional, upper Austrian mountain village, so an over-abundance of apres ski isn't offered. However, sociability and hospitality are top priorities and families in particular feel very welcome here.
Many leisure time activities are offered here, e.g. horse-drawn sleigh rides, tobogganing, curling or even enjoying a drink at the local regulars' table. Gosau also offers over 40 km of wonderful, snowy winter hiking trails that are just waiting to be explored. After a strenuous day on the piste, a visit to the umbrella bar at the Hornspitz valley run is definitely worthwhile.
