Bad Hofgastein is the idyllic holiday location and historical centre of the Gasteiner Valley. The town is in the sunniest and widest part of the valley.
The pedestrian zone has numerous stores and the big spa garden which is inviting for strolls.
Rest and relaxation is what you will find in the summer while walking, riding, playing squash, "Kneipping", playing golf or mini golf, or Nordic walking. Not only the athletic side plays a role in Bad Hofgastein but culture as well. The offers range from musical performances to various cultural programmes.
New energy can be found during an evening visit to one of the local thermal springs surrounding Bad Hofgastein.
The deep snow-covered mountain slopes and well prepared ski runs in Bad Hofgastein are inviting in the winter. The four ski areas of Gastein have the best snow quality and security standards with over 200 km of slopes for snowboarders, carvers, beginners or professionals.
During a relaxing horse coach ride, covered in a cosy blanket, is the most romantic way to discover town. How about a stop for a drink during a run sledding party on the natural toboggan run? If you prefer cross-country skiing or snow-shoeing, the Gasteiner Valley has many cross-country tracks and walking paths.
The original ski and alpine huts are inviting to spend some time and rest in. The regional cuisine absolutely has to be tasted!
