Ski route 1 with a length of 4 km and a difference in altitude of approx. 1,400 m is an absolute must for adrenaline junkies. The start is at the Goldbergbahn mountain station and the route leads over the steep slope towards Knappenb\u00e4udelsee and on towards the middle station.<\/p>\n<p>It is well known that skiing in open terrain is not without danger and, in addition to good technique, you should also have the necessary know-how about freeriding, avalanches, snow conditions, etc. A <strong>training facility<\/strong> has therefore been installed at the valley station in Sportgastein, where you can practise and improve successful search procedures free of charge in case of an emergency. This offer is an opportunity for both freeride beginners and advanced skiers to delve even deeper into the art of skiing in open terrain.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"9-experience-the-pros-up-close\">9.

Around 80 men and women compete for a place on the winners&#8217; podium. The event has become one of the best-known and most popular races on the World Cup tour and attracts thousands of visitors to Bad Gastein every year.<\/p>\n<p>The spectacular <strong>Redbull Play Streets<\/strong> event also takes place every two years. The world&#8217;s best freeskiers gather in Bad Gastein for this event. And not in the ski resort, but right in the town itself. A wooden course is built in the narrow and steep alleyways for the spectacular competition, on which around 2,500 cubic metres of snow are piled. Numerous obstacles, rails, kickers and wall rides are installed on the course and the freeskiers do their best to wow the audience and the judges with stylish and spectacular tricks.<\/p>\n<p>Moving images like these show that sporting events in particular inspire people in Bad Gastein:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Slopestyle Skiing In Fairytale City | Red Bull PlayStreets 2019 Highlights\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_cj6OsX8YVrw\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fcj6OsX8YVrw%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cj6OsX8YVrw\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT9M10S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2019-02-19T19:00:05Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_cj6OsX8YVrw\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fcj6OsX8YVrw%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Slopestyle Skiing In Fairytale City | Red Bull PlayStreets 2019 Highlights<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/cj6OsX8YVrw\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fcj6OsX8YVrw%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Slopestyle Skiing In Fairytale City | Red Bull PlayStreets 2019 Highlights\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Take a look back at some of the top runs and best tricks that went down at the event as the world&#039;s top freeskiers took to the streets of Bad Gastein, Austria for a crazy competition through the city: Red Bull PlayStreets 2019.
