Apartment Graukogel Bad Gastein Austria - Holiday Vacation Rentals

The apartment was great. Everything we could need for a week and in easy to find places. We went for a few walks. One day we went up Gamskarkogel behind Gr�ner Baum with a hut/bar at the top. Another day we walked along the high path to Bad Hofgastein. It does go past some nice waterfalls. In Bad Hofgastein we sat in a really nice park for lunch feeding the ducks and then walked back along the path by the river. Our favourite walk was past Gr�ner Baum and up to Reedsee (a really nice breezy place after the heat and nice cold water to paddle in) and then on to Palfner Scharte. There are plenty more walks to be done around the apartment so we really hope to go back.

Thanks for providing such a great place to stay! Debbie and Ian, Norwich, UK. (July 07)

Thank you very much for the use of your apartment. It was a fabulous base, so spacious and well tucked away. The apartment was great and had everything we needed. There was loads of space for the three of us and with some of the weather we experienced we were glad of the space and home comforts.

We did get out for several walks and managed 5 rounds of golf during our stay. We really liked the golf course and would described it as interesting and challenging. I also developed quite an affection for the waterfalls and we had a couple of walks up towards Graukogel and Stubnerkogel. There scenery everywhere is breathtaking and we look forward to visiting again sometime.

Going somewhere new with the family under your own steam can be a bit of a worry, but getting to Bad Gastein by plane and train couldn't have been easier. There can't be many ski resorts with an intercity line on the doorstep. Then it's only five minutes by taxi. The apartment was excellent with the comforts of home that are needed after a hard day on the piste. With lots of space and a great drying room Apartment Graukogel provided those extras that made self-catering easy. The rooms were good, the beds comfortable and games provided that led to no complaints from four teenagers. The traffic-free walk into town with outstanding views of the town and scenery was a pleasure. We were lucky to be there for two February events - Jam07 (freestyle ski/snowboard with live music) and Red Bull Playstreets. Where else would you see skiing through the middle of town! Time passed too quickly, always the sign of a good holiday. The first question on getting home was - can we book next year? - Dave, Nottingham, UK. (Feb 07)

We really enjoyed our stay at Apartment Graukogel and were impressed by all it had to offer. The apartment was spacious, yet cosy and equipped with everything we could need. All the rooms were spotlessly clean, very comfortable and more than big enough for our group of 6. The apartment benefits from a quiet, relaxing setting, but is still just a short walk from the main bars and restaurants. Getting to the ski resort was easy, especially as-up-to date bus timetables had thoughtfully been provided at the apartment. We had a fantastic holiday and wouldn't hesitate recommending the apartment to anyone else.- Kath and Rich, Chepstow, Wales (Feb 07)

Lovely apartment in a great location. Just far enough out of town to feel secluded but close enough to be a short walk to all the bars and restaurants if you like things a bit more lively. The apartment is very welcoming, clean and remarkably spacious (it accommodated 6 friends with ease). We really liked Bad Gastein which is a great traditional ski resort with good links to other parts of the Amade ski area (especially as the ski bus is so close). We'd recommend some apres ski at the Silver Bullet if you've still got the energy! The scenery is just stunning (including the view from the apartment).We enjoyed skiing on the Schlossalm area above Bad Hofgastein the most and especially the beer and apple strudel stops along the way! Had a great ski holiday and we have been recommending the apartment and the area to anyone who will listen since returning to the UK. - Dave & Ros, Nottingham, UK (Feb 07)

We had a fantastic time in your brilliant apartment. We've stayed in several ski apartments over the years, and yours has to be the roomiest we have ever stayed in - we reckon that it could sleep 8 comfortably. We were a bit worried about the distance from the village, but the walk from the back of the apartment was so quick and convenient. Kitchen was fantastic, with a grill and dish washer - home comforts which we have not had in some apartments! We really enjoyed our stay and all agreed that you have a beautiful apartment in a great ski area. We will be in touch with you again some time. - Graham and Sue, Marienfeld, Germany. (New Year 06/07).

A large apartment with two good double bedrooms (and good beds) in a quiet area of Bad Gastein but within 5/10 minutes walk of the town centre. Recently refurbished to a high standard, well equipped and has a cosy feel. We will certainly stay again. - David & Jackie, Staffordshire, UK (Aug 06)
