ACTIve HOLIDAYs IN the SALZBURGER LAND

THE GASTEIN VALLEY 

 

A valley. Surrounded by mountains. And protected. 

3 places. Dorfgastein - Bad Hofgastein - Bad Gastein. 

Fresh mountain air. Situated just below 1000 meters. 

Bubbling thermal springs. 2 thermal baths. For your health. Or for your well-being. 

Living Austrian hospitality. Since the time of the emperor.

Traditional customs. To experience. 

And an infrastructure. Which is unbeatable for a side valley at the bottom of the Hohe Tauern and the national park. 

 

 


SUMMER FRESHNESS. UNTIL LATE FALL.

HIKING or BIKING (with or without electricity)

To the most beautifully situated mountain lakes,

over degrees to the mountaintop cross or to more than 50 alpine huts in the valley.

Let yourself be treated by charming hosts.

With homemade snacks. And schnapps.

The alpine medicine - as it is called.

And a yodel down into the valley. As a greeting. And to honor happiness and cheerfulness.

 

STROLL in the center of the three places. With the beautiful stores, boutiques and shopes. Or simply enjoy yourself. In the many restaurants and cafes. And be happy. 

 

Mini golf, tennis, hunting archery, paragliding, rafting, and much more.
