A Winter Paradise in the Austrian Alps

Bad Gastein is an important tourist location in central southern Austria in the Salzburg region, 80 kilometers south of the regional capital.

Contrasts and extremes characterize Bad Gastein: tradition meets modernity, untouched nature, and natural healing resources meet urban dynamics, art, and culture.

In addition, the location is unique: a waterfall in the middle of the village center, reminiscent of earlier times with magnificent buildings in the Belle Époque style, has made Bad Gastein the “Monte Carlo of the Alps.”

Felsentherme Bad Gastein is a renowned thermal bath that offers a unique blend of relaxation and natural beauty.

The spa is built into the rock, which gives it its name (“Felsen” means “rock” in German). The thermal waters have been attracting visitors for their healing properties for centuries.
