My Gastein experience
Whether it’s in spring, summer, autumn or winter: A break in the Gastein valley offers genuine relaxation and unforgettable experiences all year round. At the heart of it all lies the region’s magnificent natural landscape. For both action lovers and relaxation seekers, nature rolls out the red carpet – or rather, depending on the season, a green or white one.
In winter, the perfectly groomed slopes of four ski areas invite everyone who loves carving turns against the backdrop of Salzburg’s mountain peaks. In summer, the gentle alpine pastures, shimmering mountain lakes and blooming meadows of the High Tauern mountains transform into a paradise for leisure hikers and mountaineers. And after active days on skis or in hiking boots, a visit to one of the region’s world-class thermal spas promises soothing relaxation.
The three picturesque villages of the Gastein valley form the perfect base for both winter and summer holidays. In Dorfgastein, Bad Hofgastein and Bad Gastein, outdoor adventures start right at your doorstep – and deep relaxation sets in with every breath.
Located in the heart of the Gastein valley, Bad Hofgastein sits amidst a sunny mountain landscape that is equally captivating in summer and winter. During the warmer months, natural wonders such as the Gadaunerer Gorge invite visitors to lace up their hiking boots, while the varied cultural programme makes summer in Bad Hofgastein a true pleasure. When the first snow transforms the village into a glistening winter wonderland, the area enchants with extensive cross-country trails, picturesque winter hiking paths and the popular Schlossalm-Angertal-Stubnerkogel ski area. Last but not least, the warm waters of Alpentherme spa turn Bad Hofgastein into a “health tank” where body and mind can recharge.
Historic charm, alpine elegance and a touch of cosmopolitan flair: In Bad Gastein, fascinating contrasts blend into a perfect unity. Dramatically set into the rugged rocks of the High Tauern mountains, the village is famed for its Belle Époque architecture, while the impressive waterfall in the centre adds to its distinctive atmosphere. Both in summer and winter, the surrounding nature offers deeply relaxing experiences. Whether it’s after a hike on Stubnerkogel adventure mountain or a ski tour through snow-covered stone pine forests, unwinding in the thermal waters of Bad Gastein is always the perfect finale.
