Hiking in the Gastein Alps in the Fall

When temperatures start to rise and the view stretches far beyond the mountain peaks, a particularly beautiful time for hiking begins.
With more than 600 kilometers of marked hiking trails through the Gastein Valley—ranging from leisurely strolls and themed trails to challenging hikes in the Hohe Tauern—Gastein is the ideal destination for a short fall getaway.

In the fall , the landscapeis particularly rich in contrast: in the valley, the forests glow with warm colors, while the first snow may already be lying on the higher peaks. Leisure hikers will find quiet trails and cozy places to stop for a break. Experienced mountain hikers can take advantage of the crisp fall air for extended hikes.

Since weather, daylight, and conditions in the mountains can change rapidly, your route and gear should always be adapted to current conditions. Before setting out, check the weather forecast and confirm which trails, mountain railways, and huts are open.
