Is there mobile signal up on the ski slopes and gondolas?

Around the main Stubnerkogel and Schlossalm lifts and pistes, coverage is generally good, so you can post and navigate. Signal weakens in the deep gorge, inside tunnels and on remote back runs, so download maps ahead.

Can I get data inside the Gasteiner Heilstollen healing galleries?

Deep inside the radon healing tunnels, mobile signal is effectively absent — that's normal for rock galleries. You'll reconnect on the surface, so send any messages before you go in and enjoy an offline break underground.
