Bad Gastein: Gastein - Graukogel Bergstation
Few places in Salzburg have a history as closely tied to thermal bathing as Bad Gastein. Set high in the Gastein Valley within the Hohe Tauern, the resort spreads along steep slopes above the Gasteiner Ache, whose waterfall drops through its centre. Its radon-bearing thermal springs made the town one of Austria’s established spa destinations, while grand hotels and villas from the late 19th and early 20th centuries give it a distinctive vertical Alpine profile. Forested hillsides and open mountain pastures rise around the settlement, with lift-linked terrain placing Bad Gastein within the Gastein ski area. It remains both a health resort and a base for mountain walks, cycling routes and winter sports across the wider valley.

Bad Gastein has served as a thermal spa resort in Salzburg’s Gastein Valley since the 19th century. The Gasteiner Ache plunges through its centre in the 341-metre Bad Gastein Waterfall, giving the settlement a strikingly steep form among the Alps. Belle Époque hotel façades and the Grand Hotel de l’Europe recall the period when the valley drew Europe’s spa-going society. The Felsentherme continues the town’s thermal tradition, while trails and lifts lead towards the Hohe Tauern.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
