Enjoy a vacation which is both healthful and packed with variety - be active, stay fit! The Bad Hofgastein Holiday Region The Gastein Valley is nestled amid a unique mountain world, providing you with the perfect setting for a vacation filled with outdoor activity. More than 350 km of clearly marked hiking trails serve up challenges on every level, from easy, family-friendly excursions, to thrilling high-Alpine adventures. In other words, there truly is something for everyone. There are, of course, other ways to explore this Alpine paradise. If you prefer, you can allow Gastein's mountain lifts to carry you up to some of the area's most beautiful lookout points. At the area's country inns and mountain huts and restaurants, you can treat yourself to some of our region's many delicious specialties. Explore the area from atop your bicycle (there are countless cycle paths and mountainbike trails) or simply on your own two feet! Or maybe you'd prefer to enjoy a beautiful summer's day on the shores of one of nearby swimming lakes. And the newly constructed Alpen Therme spa is well worth a visit, even during this warmer time of year. One of the region's oldest golf clubs is located in Bad Gastein. This is a club with a very rich tradition. And there are also: a new mini-golf facility, tennis courts, a riding stable with Icelandic horses for the kids to enjoy, and so much more.
