About Bad Gastein

Bad Gastein is unlike any other ski resort: a Belle Époque spa town built into a steep valley, with grand hotels, thermal baths, and a waterfall cascading through the centre. The skiing in the Gastein Valley is solid rather than spectacular, but the atmosphere is unique — part faded glamour, part artistic community, entirely distinctive.
