Winter

Leave the foggy days behind you!
Thanks to our location at 1,000 m above sea level, Bad Gastein is full of fresh mountain air and many sunny days.

A unique place in Salzburger Land for enthusiastic travelers. The picturesque village of Bad Gastein, with its magnificent Belle Epoque buildings, is built entirely in harmony with the landscape.
Bad Gastein is the ideal place to relax, no matter how you want to spend your vacation. Choose between an extensive range of sports, enjoy wellness treatments and the facilities of the world-famous Gasteiner Therme.

The Gastein Valley is one of the best developed ski areas in Austria. The possibilities are enormous: from flat beginner slopes to high alpine slopes at 2800 m or challenging ski routes that are among the most beautiful in the Alps. Speaking of which, Bad Gastein has the slope with the greatest difference in altitude in the Eastern Alps! Guaranteed snow here is not an empty promise and sunny skiing until the end of March is quite normal.

But our knowledgeable guides will also introduce you to other winter sports delights: whether cross-country skiers, winter hikers, tobogganers, curlers, ice skaters, snowball throwers, igloo builders, snowman builders, horse-drawn sleigh riders or hut magicians – there’s a paradise for everyone here.
