Vacation with a clear conscience

Where sustainability meets relaxation

In Gastein, we live sustainability as a conscious decision to harmonize recreation, quality of life and economic development. This path is our commitment to a responsible future.

Our commitment to ecological balance is characterized by the use of existing resources.

Starting with the historic Tauern Railway, which has been bringing visitors to the valley for over a century, through to the use of hot thermal water, which is not only used for healing treatments and relaxation in our spas , but also provides heating for local businesses.

We also attach great importance to transparency, information and exchange. By working together and learning from each other, we strengthen synergies and take important steps towards the further development of our sustainable community.

Arrival by train

If you really want to live sustainability, you are usually faced with major challenges when it comes to getting here. The Gastein Valley has been served by the Tauern Railway for more than 100 years and is therefore easily accessible from the north and south without a car. All three towns have a train station and trains stop in all three towns.

adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS

Back in 2017, Gastein submitted a sustainability concept in the pitch for the adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS running event. Running on existing trails, using local infrastructure, avoiding waste and involving the regional economy won the Gasteinertal valley the bid. The event is optimized year after year in terms of sustainability. In 2022, the province of Salzburg will even provide athletes with free public transport to get there.
