Unforgettable experiences in Gastein

Nestled amidst Salzburg’s stunning Alpine backdrop, the Gastein Valley is a place where timeless elegance is combined with a modern touch. Every one of the valley’s three charming villages – Bad Gastein, Bad Hofgastein, and Dorfgastein – has a story to tell, from their beginnings as historic spa towns to the mountain adventures of today.

Bad Gastein: a historic spa town with Alpine freshness

Once an exclusive retreat for emperors and noblemen, Bad Gastein today shines in nostalgic splendor, combined with a touch of Alpine freshness. The renowned Felsentherme spa is a testament to the town’s long-standing history as a health resort, while the famous suspension bridge at Stubnerkogel takes adventurous visitors to lofty heights. Relive the town’s glorious past during a historic walk through the Belle Époque, or experience the majestic atmosphere of Gastein’s thundering waterfall. During winter, the snow-covered summits invite you to go skiing or snowboarding, while in summer, the mountains are one big playground for hiking enthusiasts and nature lovers.
