Away from the everyday - Welcome to the off

Time out in Austria - vacation in Gastein

 

Nestled in the imposing nature of the Salzburg Alps, on the edge of the Hohe Tauern National Park, lies the Gastein Valley with its three villages: Dorfgastein, Bad Hofgastein and Bad Gastein. Formed by the highest grass mountains in the Eastern Alps, surrounded by the 3,000-meter peaks of the Hohe Tauern and hot, soothing thermal springs, Gastein has always combined the fascinating power of mountains and water.

 

Gastein is a valley full of contrasts, all of which invite you to enjoy some time out. It invites you to arrive and leave everyday life behind. It takes you to the place where you can personally find the best distance from everyday life. Whether greeting the sun at the summit, hiking on pistes, cross-country ski trails and winter hiking paths or relaxing in soothing, healing springs. Time stands still. History and modern zeitgeist, tranquillity and lively moments - all of this comes together here to create a harmonious balance.

 

Gastein is a valley that inspires - sometimes grounding, sometimes inspiring - and always offers one thing: tangible vitality full of contrasts, all of which invite you to enjoy some time out. Away from the everyday.
