ACTIVE VACATION IN SALZBURGER LAND

THE GASTEIN VALLEY

Valley. Surrounded by mountains. And sheltered.
3 places. Dorfgastein – Bad Hofgastein – Bad Gastein.
Fresh mountain air. Located just below 1000 meters.
Bubbling thermal springs. 2 spas. For health. Or for well-being.
Lived Austrian hospitality. Since imperial times.
Protected customs. To experience.
And an infrastructure. Which is almost unbeatable for a side valley at the foot of the Hohe Tauern and the National Park.

SUMMER FRESH. UNTIL LATE AUTUMN

HIKING or BIKING (with or without electricity)

To the most beautifully situated mountain lakes and summit crosses, with stops at over 50 mountain huts in the valley. Let yourself be pampered by warm-hearted alpine dairymen, enjoy homemade snacks and a schnapps – also known as alpine medicine.
