The charming resort Bad Gastein lies in the heart of the national park Hohe Tauern, at approx. 1,002 altitude, in midst of the Salzburger Land. The landmark of this spa and winter sports resort is the Gastein Waterfalls, which cascade down over an impressive
200 m and which has inspired many painters and poets in the past: Furthermore it is also a great attraction for ice climbers. Along the steep alleys on the mountain side, many Grand Hotels from the time of the Emperor's reign, as well as countless buildings
from the Belle Epoque dominate the resort's appearance. Winter dreams come true here: The extensive offer of sports and leisure time activities, combined with numerous spa offers and treatments, guarantee a very special holiday experience.
Already in 1958 the Graukogel was host of the Alpine Ski World Championship. Those who are looking to spend some time away from the first-class ski area, can stroll by the many boutiques and shops. The connection tunnel between the valley station and the futuristic
complex of the Rock Thermal Baths is also worth seeing. Never mind if skier, snowboarder, cross-country enthusiasts or just on the look-out for relaxation - in this resort there is surely something for everyone!
