Arrived in Gastein Between alpine sport and healing springs

Welcome to the Gastein valley Your holiday in Gastein

Imagine starting the morning in warm thermal water and standing on a mountain pasture above the valley by midday. In Gastein, the two lie close together. The valley surprises you the moment you arrive. Instead of rustic wooden houses, multi-storey Belle Époque buildings nestle against the steep slopes, with narrow lanes leading you uphill through them. More than a hundred years ago, emperors and spa guests were already travelling here, for exactly this mix of mountains and healing water. Short routes out into nature await you, and a place that ticks quite differently from the typical mountain village. Pack your swimwear and your hiking boots.
