BAD HOFGASTEIN HIGHLIGHTS
So much to experience
From the historical center of Gastein Valley, you can hit the trail to conquer numerous hiking routes ranging from leisurely to challenging. Countless kilometers of pistes in one of Austria's most popular winter sports regions invite you to spend days filled with sporting action in the snow, perhaps with a ski pass for the "Ski amadé" lift alliance tucked away in your rucksack. Hop aboard one of the mountain lifts and take an effortless ride up to the Stubnerkogel or Schlossalm, before slicing down glistening slopes back to the valley below.
Modern pedestrian zone and medieval town center
If you stroll through this charming, historical town, past houses once owned by prosperous mine owners back in the Middle Ages and fountains bubbling with water from thermal springs, you will come to the pedestrian zone. There, you will probably be unable to resist the countless cafés, bars and restaurants that cater wonderfully to the wishes of holidaymakers and seminar guests alike. Or you might wish to attend one of the numerous cultural and folk events which Bad Hofgastein hosts regularly. And when, after such a full and enjoyable day, you finally return to your hotel room or apartment in Bad Hofgastein, you are certain to fall into a deep, restful night's sleep. The locals claim it's the fresh, clear mountain air in combination with pure contentment. We think they're right on the mark.

Or simply do nothing at all
Experience sporting highlights and the beauty of nature, enjoy culture and local folk traditions. All essential ingredients for a successful vacation, of course. But something you shouldn't ignore, is having the opportunity to do absolutely nothing at all, summed up perfectly by our southern neighbors, the Italians, in the expression dolce far niente. Simply put your feet up, read a good book, savor the atmosphere and the scenery. Indeed, it was as if Bad Hofgastein were created just for this, too. When it comes to relaxation, incidentally, Alpentherme Gastein leaves you wanting for nothing - be that in their Relax World or Sauna World - the minute you step into this Alpine world of glorious water, it's as if you are slamming the door right in the face of that tiresome daily grind you left back home.
