Holidays in Bad Gastein

Imperial grand buildings and roaring water. Dramatic rock faces and gentle greenery. Bad Gastein is a place of contrasts. It is shaped by extremes that still form a harmonious whole. By contradictions that nevertheless work together. And by a history that transformed Bad Gastein from simply a village into a myth. 

Nowhere else is the Gastein valley so traditional, yet so modern. So rustic and yet stylishly cosmopolitan. So elegant and at the same time cool. Bad Gastein has its edges – but they round off into something unique. 

Summer in Bad Gastein

Imperial relaxation awaits around every corner in Bad Gastein. Empress Sisi herself already knew about the healing power of this thermal spa town.

That’s why so much in Bad Gastein revolves around the central element of water, whether it’s spa treatments at Felsentherme, hikes to shimmering mountain lakes or sightseeing at the powerful waterfall that shapes the townscape just as much as its characteristic Belle Époque architecture. 

Alongside the water, it is the mountains that make summerly Bad Gastein a refreshingly different wellness destination. Whether you admire the majestic panoramas on Stubnerkogel adventure mountain or breathe in the soothing scent of the stone pine forests on Graukogel: Summer in Bad Gastein resonates deep within.

Winter in Bad Gastein

Bad Gastein turns cold days and warm waters into the perfect combination. The vast range of winter sports is perfectly complemented by the region’s soothing thermal spas.

Plenty of snow-filled action awaits on the perfectly groomed slopes of the Stubnerkogel-Angertal-Schlossalm and Sportgastein ski areas. While skiers and snowboarders carve their lines there, ski touring enthusiasts make their way through the natural snow on Graukogel.
