Gais for beginners

Beginners rating -
58
Perfect
Gais offers a friendly environment for beginners with its gentle slopes and easy-to-use lifts. The ski school provides excellent instruction for those new to the sport, helping them to build confidence and master the basics. However, it's worth noting that the resort can get crowded during peak times, which may be a bit overwhelming for some beginners.

Gais for intermediates

Intermediates rating -
Fun
Perfect
Intermediate skiers will find Gais to be a suitable destination with a good mix of blue and red pistes. The resort offers a variety of terrains, including the popular blue runs around the Speikboden lift, which are known for their consistent snow conditions. The red runs descending from the Klausberg lift offer a more challenging experience, perfect for skiers looking to enhance their skills.

Gais for advanced

Advanced skiers rating -
Fun
Perfect
Gais may not be the best fit for advanced skiers seeking adrenaline-pumping challenges. The resort primarily caters to beginners and intermediates, with a majority of its slopes being blue and red. While there are a few black runs, they are not particularly steep or long, and may not provide the level of difficulty that advanced skiers typically crave.

Gais for snowboarders

Snowboarders rating -
Fun
Perfect
Gais may not be the first choice for snowboarders. The resort lacks specialized facilities like snowparks or half-pipes that are typically sought after by snowboarding enthusiasts. The terrain is more suited for traditional skiing, making it less appealing for those looking to snowboard or freestyle.

Gais for off-pistes

Off-pistes rating -
Poor
Perfect
Gais may not be the first choice for freeriders as it primarily caters to beginners and intermediate skiers with its groomed slopes and family-friendly atmosphere. The resort lacks the challenging terrains, deep powder, and high-altitude trails that off-piste enthusiasts typically seek. However, for those who enjoy a relaxed pace and prefer sticking to the marked trails, Gais offers a pleasant skiing experience.

Gais for families

Families rating -
Families
Perfect
Gais may not be the first choice for families seeking a ski resort. The resort is relatively small and lacks the extensive facilities and amenities that larger resorts offer. However, for families seeking a quiet, less crowded skiing experience, Gais could be a suitable choice, with its gentle slopes ideal for beginners and intermediate skiers.

Gais apres-ski

Apres-ski rating -
Perfect
Fun
The après-ski scene in Gais is more on the tranquil side, perfect for those who prefer a calm atmosphere after a day on the slopes. You can enjoy a quiet drink at the cozy bars like Gasthof Krone or Hotel Lamm. For those seeking a bit more excitement, nearby Brunico offers a livelier nightlife with venues such as Brunico Castle and the popular Gigger Bar.
