Ski Club Holiday to Bad Gastein February 2026

Bad Gastein - Austria - Places still available  contact holidays@skiclub.ie and put your €200 deposit down (€250 for non-members) to secure your place

The second club holiday in 2026 will be in Bad Gastein for the week commencing Saturday, February 21st.  It is set in the beautiful Gastein valley, part of a 220km ski area, one of the biggest in Austria. For the daredevils, there is the H1 Hohe Scharte Nord - one of the longest descents in the Eastern Alps - a thrilling 10.4km run with a vertical drop of 1,440 meters. 

Noted for its spas, Bad Gastein also has enough bars and restaurants to entertain visitors. We have reservations in the excellent 4* Hotel Salzburger Hof, only about a 5-minute walk from the lifts.  The hotel is a very popular one with Irish guests. The airport transfer is about 1 hour and 30 minutes.  The basic price for a half-board hotel, flights and transfers will be approx. €1750, to be confirmed. A limited number of single rooms will be available at an extra cost, also to be confirmed. Extras will include lift pass, ski tuition (if desired) and equipment rental (if required).   

The February holiday caters for all grades of skier from near-beginner, through intermediate and advanced.   Ages range from young adults to people in their seventies, with the majority spread in between.   Many of those who have been on previous club holidays enrol in the local Ski School. Others prefer to free ski – the choice is yours.   For advanced skiers, it is hoped to get into the off-piste as much as possible.

We encourage any individual or group who wants to ski but, for a variety of reasons, must do so on their own, to come with us.  Within 24 hours, they will feel part of the group. 

We have taken a provisional booking of rooms with the tour operator Topflight  Holidays, and it is very unlikely that we will get an increase.   As there is a finite number of rooms available in the hotel, it is strongly advised that the earliest possible bookings are made.   So please contact holidays@skiclub.ie and put your €200 deposit down (€250 for non-members) to secure your place.
