My Gastein experience
Miles away, yet more present than ever – that’s how it feels when you put your suitcase down in Dorfgastein. Because even though you’ve just left home, this small, family-friendly village in the Gastein valley gives you the feeling of having arrived. With all the comfort and warmth you need to feel at ease – but without the everyday routine that can make life feel tiring at times.
Dorfgastein gives you space to breathe deeply and to let go. You immediately feel your energy returning and can savour and hold on to your holiday moments all the more consciously.
When snowflakes are falling thick and fast outside, you can’t help wanting to snuggle up at home. But psst: In Dorfgastein, it feels even more wonderful if you’ve first tried out one of the many winter activities together as a family. For example, the Dorfgastein-Großarltal ski area offers perfectly groomed slopes for the grown-ups and lovingly designed practice areas for the little ones.
The many winter hiking trails and ski touring routes around Dorfgastein also tempt you outside with sparkling snow, sugar-dusted treetops and stunning panoramic views. And when the snowfall gets a bit too heavy? Then you and the kids can simply enjoy the winter scenery from the comfort of the warm thermal water.
Dorfgastein is deeply rooted in the region’s history, and long-standing traditions still mean a lot there. You can feel this at the many traditional events that take place throughout the year. Thanksgiving celebrations or Krampus gatherings are ideal opportunities to discover local customs together with your family. But modern life also has its place in the event calendar. From a Flying Wine & Dine Buffet to lively mountain hut entertainment, numerous events are all about fun, indulgence and good company.
Wellness hotel or family-friendly holiday apartment? Camping or a farm stay? In Dorfgastein, there are accommodation options to suit every taste. Special emphasis is placed on families – and on the feeling that you haven’t just found somewhere to stay, but a second home for yourself and your loved ones.
In some moments, summer in Dorfgastein is wonderfully quiet – perfect for feeling completely at one with yourself on a hike with your loved ones high above the valley.
But this family-friendly mountain paradise also offers plenty of action – for example, when you race down a singletrack on your bike or hop onto a mountain cart with your children. Speaking of children: In the warmer months, Dorfgastein provides endless adventures for families – from the fast-paced pump track on Fulseck to fun activities for rainy days.
