Family Summer in Gastein
Between high mountains and lush green meadows - family holiday the way it was meant to be.
In the morning at breakfast, you can already feel the anticipation of what the new day will bring. During the day, run, jump, climb, ride or fish in the mountains and breathe in the clear mountain air. Later, enjoy the cool water in the lively swimming pool or crystal clear mountain lake and cool down your temperament a bit. At dinner in the cosy accommodation, have a head full of beautiful stories of the past day. Afterwards, fall into bed tired but happy with shining eyes, to wake up again the next day full of anticipation.
The Gasteinertal is the ideal destination for a family vacation:
- Horseback riding, climbing or fishing while breathing in the clear mountain air
- Bathing fun with water slide in the swimming pool or in the crystal clear mountain lake
- Pleasure and culinary delights in the family hotels & children's hotels
- Bright children's eyes that fall tired but happy into bed, to wake up the next day full of anticipation.
This is what a vacation day in the Gasteinertal can look like for your child. And if the children have fun on their summer vacation in Austria and are happy, so are the parents. And can enjoy time for two even on a family vacation.
In Gastein, all possibilities for a successful family summer are open to you - you just need to seize them. The best thing is to "Hike and Experience with GASTI" - the mascot of the valley!
Fly fishing and panning for gold: Holidays with nostalgic charm
Taking a deep breath and enjoying the beauty of Hohe Tauern National Park. Waiting, as the crystal-clear stream water of the Kötschachtaler Ache babbles cheerfully by you. And feeling the certain sense of excitement in the air before the first fish bites. Fly fishing is an unforgettable experience for children. In Gastein, as you fish side-by-side with your kids, you will be able to experience nature at its most beautiful – in the midst of Hohe Tauern National Park, next to the delightful Kötschachtaler Ache, with countless brook trout splashing about in it.
Hiking with children in Gastein Valley
If you are spending your summer holidays in Gastein with your children, you are looking for a different kind of hiking experience than if you were here alone or purely with your partner. With children, it is those little experiences along the way that assume greater importance, plus the hikes shouldn’t take too long and not be too strenuous. And maybe you even have a very young family member who would like to tag along in a pram as well.
In fact, there are more than enough pram-friendly hiking paths in Gastein. In general, promenades alongside the river and not-too-steep forestry roads are your best options. In Gastein, you will find a number of these in Sportgastein, in Kötschachtal, along the Gasteiner Achenpromenade, or on the Gasteiner Höhenweg. Many of Gastein's theme paths are ideal for children, too. All that’s left for you to do at this point is choose the hike that jumps out at you most.
