Nestled in the heart of the Gastein Valley, Bad Gastein combines excellent skiing with stunning alpine scenery and a rich spa-town atmosphere. The Alpenblick is a fantastic choice for those seeking peaceful surroundings and breathtaking mountain views, set slightly outside the town centre for a more relaxing stay.
Bad Gastein is famous for its natural thermal springs, making wellness a key part of the experience. After a day on the slopes, unwind in saunas and steam rooms, enjoy a massage or radon treatment, or swim in the outdoor thermal pool while taking in the spectacular snowy landscapes.
The Gasteinertal ski area offers 198km of varied terrain, ideal for intermediate skiers, with scenic tree-lined runs, wide-open pistes, and long descents such as the impressive 10.5km red run from Hohe Scharte summit. Beginners are also well catered for, with nursery slopes near the gondola and gentle blue runs perfect for building confidence.
Beyond skiing, Bad Gastein’s elegant Belle Époque architecture, dramatic gorge, and lively atmosphere create a unique setting. Visitors can enjoy everything from traditional Austrian taverns to stylish cocktail bars, while adventurous activities such as ziplining across the gorge, ice climbing frozen waterfalls, and trying Austria’s version of curling add even more excitement to your winter holiday.
