My Gastein experience
Miles away, yet more present than ever – that’s how it feels when you put your suitcase down in Dorfgastein. Because even though you’ve just left home, this small, family-friendly village in the Gastein valley gives you the feeling of having arrived. With all the comfort and warmth you need to feel at ease – but without the everyday routine that can make life feel tiring at times.
Dorfgastein gives you space to breathe deeply and to let go. You immediately feel your energy returning and can savour and hold on to your holiday moments all the more consciously.
The murmur of a babbling brook, the ringing of cowbells, and the stunning mountain scenery create the perfect setting for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
On the family-friendly hiking trails around the village, you can enjoy nature to the fullest—whether on a leisurely stroll through the valley or a scenic hike up the Fulseck adventure mountain. In addition to breathtaking views, numerous adventures await the whole family there: the Sky Swing, varied playgrounds, and a thrilling ride on the Mountaincart make the mountain a popular destination for young and old alike.
Those who prefer to get around on two wheels can do laps on the pump track or use the singletrack in Großarl, which is easily accessible via the bike swing.
Even in changeable weather, there’s no chance of getting bored: the Entrische Kirche show cave, Klammstein Castle, Adventure Golf, or a cozy evening of bowling offer a variety of outing options. And with an umbrella and rubber boots , the family-friendly hiking trails in the valley can be explored in any weather.
Dorfgastein is deeply rooted in the region’s history, and long-standing traditions still mean a lot there. You can feel this at the many traditional events that take place throughout the year.
Wellness hotel or family-friendly holiday apartment? Camping or a farm stay? In Dorfgastein, there are accommodation options to suit every taste. Special emphasis is placed on families – and on the feeling that you haven’t just found somewhere to stay, but a second home for yourself and your loved ones.
When snowflakes are falling thick and fast outside, you can’t help wanting to snuggle up at home. But psst: In Dorfgastein, it feels even more wonderful if you’ve first tried out one of the many winter activities together as a family. For example, the Dorfgastein-Großarltal ski area offers perfectly groomed slopes for the grown-ups and lovingly designed practice areas for the little ones.
The many winter hiking trails and ski touring routes around Dorfgastein also tempt you outside with sparkling snow, sugar-dusted treetops and stunning panoramic views. And when the snowfall gets a bit too heavy? Then you and the kids can simply enjoy the winter scenery from the comfort of the warm thermal water.
