Surroundings

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.

Der Ort
The town

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.

Wellness & healing springs

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.
