Kerstin 3 - by SMR - Close to Gondola and Spa

Kerstin 3 is a modern chalet apartment on the first floor. It offers an open kitchen with dining and living room, a washer and dryer, two bathrooms and three bedrooms. It can accommodate a total of 8 people when the sofa bed is used.

The slopes are only a 4-minute walk away and can be seen from the apartment's living room.
The apartment itself offers a magnificent panoramic view of the mountains.
The slopes have access to two excellent ski schools (Adventure Rauris and Karl Meier Ski School).
The slopes also have a nursery suitable for children and beginners.

On the mountains there are many bars and restaurants serving classic Austrian food and drinks.
On certain evenings during the week, you can sled on the other side of the mountain until late at night.
Experienced skiers will enjoy the many red runs and the black run that leads from the top of the mountain to the children's slope.

Larger ski resorts such as the Kaprun Glacier and Zell am See can be reached in less than an hour by car.
Alternatively, a ski bus departs directly in front of the apartment complex and connects the nearby ski areas.
The mountains are also busy in summer, offering hiking trails and gold panning for children. More distant destinations offer canyoning and white water rafting.
For those looking for a relaxing stay, there are many lakes and waterfalls in the mountains where you can relax; the most famous is Lake Zell.
For indoor relaxation, the complex offers a sauna, steam room and heated pool - perfect after a hard day on the slopes.

Bad Gastein also has a geothermal spa that has an adults-only area, as well as a water slide for kids and daring adults!
The town itself is small and quaint; we have two wonderful bakeries and several restaurants serving classic alpine cuisine and a few pizzas from our Italian neighbors!
There are also many bars open for apres ski, as well as a small supermarket (billa) on the main street and a larger supermarket (spar) just behind the church.
We wish you a pleasant stay in Kirsten 3 and a great time in picturesque Rauris.

In the basement there is a fitness room and a washing/drying room and a ski cellar.
