In summer, it's hard to imagine anywhere more beautiful than Gastein. And everywhere you go in the valley, you encounter music, dance, celebrations and laughter. No wonder: Summer holidays in Gastein Valley are legendary and look back on a long history, punctuated by an array of famous personalities including Emperor Franz Joseph I, William I as well as Otto von Bismarck.

Likewise, countless art and cultural figures were, and continue to be inspired by the beauty and power of this valley. But in addition to art and culture, tradition and folk heritage also find their rightful place in Gastein. The event highlights are many and varied - from the Alm Fest in Sportgastein to open-air concerts and sommer.frische.kunst.
