365 days a year vacation in the Gastein Valley

Nature, action, recreation & thermal spas

The Gastein valley is known worldwide for its alpine diversity and beauty. The air is marvelous, the mountains are enchanted, the lakes are crystal clear and the altitude revitalize the body. Perfect conditions for active persons as well as spa & health tourists.

In winter the ski lifts lead directly to four attractive skiing areas, cross country ski trails or winter hiking trails. A very special experience hiking cross-country through the snow promises a snowshoe hike. Fixtures of the daily active program of the local tourism bureau or of private outdoor and sports tourism providers are guided ski safaris, guided ski tours, Iceland pony riding, etc. You prefer some more cozy activities? Choose from ice skating to sleigh rides to toboggan run.

In summer you can hike through pine woods, up to the summits of Gastein´s mountains, to mystical mountain lakes and to rustic alpine huts. Fixtures of the daily active program of the local tourism bureau or of private outdoor and sports tourism providers are guided half- and fully day hikes, Nordic walking tours and guided bike tours (as well as e-bike tours). Swimmers take delight the refreshing Gastein Lake in midsummer. The 18-hole golf course invites you to tee off.
