Ski holidays Bad Gastein - Enjoy a winter holiday, Belle Époque and spa flair!

Bad Gastein

Bad Gastein lies at an altitude of 1,002 metres in the heart of Salzburger Land. The traditional spa town with its almost 4,000 inhabitants gained national fame from the 16th century onwards thanks to gold mining and today is characterised above all by its Belle Époque-style buildings, which nestle in terraces on the steep slopes. However, the landmark of the ski resort is the "Gastein Waterfall" with its impressive drop of around 200 metres. It has inspired many painters and poets and is a popular attraction for ice climbers in winter.

Nestled in the alpine landscape of the Hohe Tauern National Park, Bad Gastein offers a variety of winter activities such as skiing, cross-country skiing, winter hiking and tobogganing in addition to its sophisticated flair. The spa town also has a lot to offer away from the slopes. These include the Felsentherme thermal spa with its warm thermal pools and the historic old town with its cafés and boutiques that invite you to take a stroll. Regional and international cuisine is served in the restaurants.
