Amphitheatre-style Alpenarena of 2007, an ice rink in winter

The Alpenarena in Bad Hofgastein is an arena that recalls an amphitheatre. It was built on the site of the former Kurcafé, a choice that followed the spa town's long tradition of classical music for its guests, and the grounds opened in 2007. The municipality owns it and the Kur- und Tourismusverband manages it, working closely with the local clubs.

In winter the grounds are used as an ice rink: an artificial-ice surface of 1,100 square metres and three ice stock lanes of 500 square metres, by the Kursaal. The rest of the year the arena hosts everything from a May festival and concerts to public viewing.

A report of April 2025 described the Alpenarena as a successful event location, with plans for a retractable roof over the whole arena and a new stage.
