Holidays in Bad Hofgastein

Find true relaxation – and, along the way, yourself: In Bad Hofgastein, it comes naturally. Hofgastein is a “health tank”, a place where body and mind can recharge, heal and gain new energy. With every breath, stress gives way to soothing relaxation. This modern yet tradition-minded village in the middle of the Gastein valley gently leads you back to your own centre. 

How does it do that? With a blend of sunshine and wide-open spaces, spectacular nature and invigorating thermal water, quiet moments of slowing down and a uniquely rich programme of cultural events. Indulgence also plays a major role in Bad Hofgastein: The lively village centre, with its many cafés, weekly markets and food events, is a hotspot for everyone who loves authentic cuisine. All of this comes together in a kind of alpine savoir-vivre that makes Bad Hofgastein a place of enjoyment and connection. For a break far away from home – yet wonderfully close to yourself. 

Summer in Bad Hofgastein

Lush green, radiant blue and, in between, brightly coloured alpine flowers: In the Gastein valley, the warm season creates a truly magnificent backdrop for everything that does you good when you’re looking to unwind.

Gamskarkogel and Schlossalm adventure mountains invite you to go on impressive hikes – from family walks with a tasty stop at a mountain hut to summit tours with panoramic views. 

However, in Bad Hofgastein, you don’t just find relaxation at higher altitudes. Down in the valley, too, your energy levels effortlessly recharge during yoga or forest bathing. A visit to Alpentherme spa is also perfect for this – and not just as a bad-weather option.

Winter in Bad Hofgastein

Picturesque snowy landscapes and wonderfully warm thermal waters: This winning combination makes the Alpine Spa of Bad Hofgastein one of the most popular winter destinations in the Alps.

The Schlossalm-Angertal-Stubnerkogel ski area offers snow sports fans fantastic conditions for skiing and snowboarding. Those seeking their winter happiness away from the groomed slopes will find it in ski touring or freeriding on untouched powder runs. 

The snowy landscape reveals its quieter side during cross-country skiing, winter hiking or winter forest bathing. And from a “bath” in the winter forest, it’s just a stone’s throw to a soak in the spa. A defining feature of the village is the Alpentherme Gastein, with its unique thermal water and health offers.
