Gasteinertal is the top address for Sport, Relaxation and Recuperation all year round.
The 40km long Gasteiner Valley has a lot to offer and is located between the high peaks of the Hohe Tauern National Park and Italy to the south, in the middle of unspoilt nature and healing surroundings. The three holiday towns of this valley have been loved as health resorts since the Middle Ages.
Bad Gastein
This town is called the “Monte Carlo of the Alps” because of its architecture. All around the waterfall in the town centre, there are multilevel houses. Whoever wanders through this ‘skyscraper’ village will be amazed by the picturesque houses and hotels in the Belle Epoque style. The healing water mist ensures an extra portion of health on the side. Bad Gastein really pampers its guests with its own rock spas in this Alpine health region.
