Flights of fancy in the Gastein Valley

Sportgastein

Sportgastein already has sport in its name. And indeed, you can enjoy sporting activities here all year round, surrounded by majestic three-thousand-metre peaks. The high plateau at the head of the valley impresses in both summer and winter. The locals still know it as Nassfeld - here, where the sky kisses the peaks and the clear mountain air promises freedom, a unique nature experience opens up.

To the south , the imposing peaks of the Tauern main ridge draw their line into the sky, while the Geiselkopf fascinates with its striking double summit in the east . To the west , the mighty Murauerkogel rises like a guardian over the valley. A side valley - the Weißenbachtal - leads even further into the picturesque Carinthian Mallnitztal and makes hikers' hearts beat faster.

Take in the tranquillity of the mountains, feel the power of nature and recharge your batteries. Find your own personal summit happiness here in Salzburger Land.
