My Gastein experience
Health promotion in Gastein
Health isn’t supported by therapies alone – it also thrives on mindful breaks from everyday life. That’s why, alongside classic spa treatments, gentle radon therapy and visits to the thermal spas, Gastein focuses on preventive offers that help reduce stress, strengthen the immune system and restore inner balance.
Whether it’s through yoga or forest bathing, the region provides the ideal setting to harmonise body and mind. Peaceful forests for recharging, clear mountain air for deep breathing – in the Gastein valley, those seeking rest will find the perfect environment for active regeneration.
Radon therapy: natural health prevention
Radon therapy is a key part of Gastein’s health offering and unique in its effects. The noble gas radon, contained in the thermal water, acts as a natural stimulus for the body. It activates cell metabolism and promotes the body’s own production of messenger substances. This makes radon therapy especially valuable in preventive health care. It enhances resilience and helps to support overall vitality – entirely without medication.
Forest bathing: the power of silence
Forest bathing in Gastein is an immersive nature experience. Far away from noise and distraction, you step into the forests of the High Tauern mountains, breathe deeply in the fresh air and let your surroundings take effect. Slow, mindful movement and heightened awareness of nature have been proven to reduce stress hormones, stabilise circulation and improve overall wellbeing. This makes forest bathing an ideal way to strengthen mental health in a lasting way.
Yoga: gentle movement for inner balance
Whether it’s in the mountains, on an alpine meadow or in a yoga studio: Gastein offers a wide range of yoga options that nourish both body and mind. Gentle asanas stretch your muscles, mobilise your spine and deepen your breathing. Practising yoga in the clear mountain air enhances relaxation, improves concentration and replenishes energy. Regular events, workshops and group sessions make it easy to find your rhythm, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yogi.
