Hiking with all your senses
Leisure hiking in Gastein
What makes hiking so enjoyable? Well, for some, it’s that moment when the panoramic view opens up after a steady climb. For others, it’s when their toes dip into the icy water of a mountain lake. And then there are those who find happiness in a steaming bowl of Kaspressknödelsuppe on the sun terrace of a mountain hut.
The hiking experience in Gastein is best enjoyed in your own way: step by step, view by view or bite by bite.
