Your vacation in the Gastein Valley

A spa with history
The traces of the past? Omnipresent. Emperor Franz Josef, Thomas Mann or Reich Chancellor Otto v. Bismarck: they all visited Bad Gastein and were fascinated by the beauty of the place. In the center? - Straubingerplatz as a place to meet, to see and to be seen. You too may discover the numerous charms in and around Bad Gastein! Curious for a sample?
In the middle of a natural paradise
Through lush green meadows, past blue mountain lakes and up to lofty heights. In the middle of the Hohe Tauern National Park, Bad Gastein is the ideal starting point for hikes of all kinds. A climb to the highest Grasberg in Europe, relaxing on the Poserhöhe or swinging on the suspension bridge on the Stubnerkogel – the surrounding area offers countless destinations worth exploring. During the winter season, four ski areas with around 200 kilometers of slopes at an altitude of up to 2,300 m attract visitors. Offers for snowshoeing, sledding as well as the snow park with fun slope provide pure winter fun.
Built close to the water
The imposing waterfall, which rushes over three steps, a total of about 350 meters across the village into the valley, already impressed painters and poets. Feel the pleasant effect of the 17 ancient thermal springs in one of the thermal spas of the village or relax in the Straubinger Spa or in the Alpine Swim Club. Undisturbed and with a wide view over the valley you can swim in the pool towards the clouds, release tension in the soothing heat of the sauna, or find new strength during a treatment.
Austria culinary experience
From fresh coffee and traditional apple strudel to exquisite multi-course meals, the crisp mountain air will whet your appetite. Try contemporary soul food creations at Auntie Heidi in the Badeschloss, which contribute to holistic well-being in keeping with the motto "wellness goes through the stomach." At the Straubinger Grand Hotel, you can enjoy modern classics of Austrian gastronomy as well as new interpretations of upscale cuisine. Take a seat at the Chef’s Table and gain exclusive insights into the culinary arts of chef Norman Beitz and his team.
