My Gastein experience
The snow crunches underfoot. The mulled wine warms your hands and stomach.
Right in the center of Bad Hofgastein , the atmosphere is festive and pre-Christmas. The shutters are decorated for Christmas. The air is filled with the scent of mulled wine and punch. Burning logs in the fire pits provide warmth and light. The brass band is just taking their places, smiling at one another, and a few moments later, a gentle Christmas carol begins to play.

Enjoy a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride through the sparkling spa gardens, take a guided torchlight hike through the quiet night, and warm your heart and hands with a fragrant punch served in a festive mug. A lovingly selected Advent gift rounds out the experience.
Available online, at the Bad Hofgastein Spa & Tourism Association, and directly at the Advent Market at the “Gastein” booth (Kursaal entrance). Redeemable at the Bad Hofgastein Advent Market.

The town center of Bad Hofgastein, with its pedestrian zone illuminated with Christmas lights, provides an atmospheric backdrop. Local folk music groups and tower brass bands ensure a blend of tradition and variety. Experience plenty of romance and idyll at the Advent market— perhaps even on a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snow-covered spa gardens.
That’s the Christmas season in Gastein!
