About
Bad Gastein is a picturesque spa town in the Austrian Alps, famous for its dramatic mountainside setting, Belle Époque architecture, and roaring waterfall that cascades right through the heart of town. Once a retreat for aristocrats and artists drawn by its radon-rich thermal waters, it has reinvented itself as both a wellness haven and an adventure hub. Visitors come year-round to soak in healing spas, explore the Gasteiner Heilstollen healing caves, ski the vast slopes of Ski Amadé in winter, or hike and bike through the Hohe Tauern National Park in summer. With its mix of history, natural beauty, and modern vitality, Bad Gastein offers a unique Alpine escape that feels both timeless and refreshingly alive.
