Bad Gastein and the valley at your doorstep.
A Belle Époque town nestled in the High Tauern. Hot springs, alpine ski areas, wide hiking valleys and a Belle Époque setting where tradition meets a new design culture. From the Lindenhof you reach almost everything in walking distance.
Bad Gastein – where the waterfall runs through town.
Bad Gastein is different. A small spa town with grand history: emperors, composers and writers took the waters here in the 19th century. Today, a new generation gathers in renovated grand hotels, cafés and galleries. Right through the middle, the Gastein Waterfall drops in three stages – a natural spectacle inside the town itself.
Thermal baths, healing tunnel, spring water.
The healing power of radon water, sauna landscapes with mountain views, the world-unique healing tunnel – the valley lives by the water below.

The last stop before the Tauern rail crossing – right at our door.
The Alpe Adria Cycle Path runs about 410 km from Salzburg to Grado and passes about 100 m from the Lindenhof. Bad Gastein is the last stop before the Tauern rail crossing: the next morning, the train takes you from Böckstein through the Tauern tunnel to Mallnitz, where the route reaches its highest point at 1,191 m. In about a week you cross Salzburg, Upper Carinthia and Friuli down to the sea – mostly on dedicated bike paths, partly along a former railway line.
We are a classic stopover hotel for cyclists: a lockable bike room, free e-bike charging in the house, an early breakfast and a quiet room for the night between two stages. Our partner Zona30 in Palmanova welcomes you around 30 km before the finish.
