About Bad Gastein
Bad Gastein is a spa town whose centre sits at the Gastein waterfall, about 1,000 metres above sea level. The water falls about 340 metres over three levels, right through town. Hotels and houses in the Belle Epoque style line streets that climb the slope, and a car park lift rising over 11 floors covers part of the height difference. Our homes are mostly small, sleeping around four, and are spread over a couple of kilometres. None has a pool or sauna, so the Felsentherme in town, with four spa areas surrounded by natural rock walls, does that job. Expect hills and steps wherever you stay.
Is Bad Gastein right for you?
- Best for
- Skiers and spa visitors who like old architecture
- Not for you if
- You want flat streets or a pool at the house, because the town is steep and our homes here have no pools.

Bad Gastein villa holidays: questions answered
Is Bad Gastein good for skiing?
Yes, as part of a connected area. The Schlossalm-Angertal-Stubnerkogel slopes link Bad Gastein with Bad Hofgastein, and Sportgastein, the highest winter sports area in Ski amadé at 2,650 metres, is considered snow-secure.
Is Bad Gastein steep to get around?
Yes. The centre sits on a slope at the waterfall, and the town has a car park lift over 11 floors just to cover part of the height difference. Anyone with a pushchair or limited mobility should check how far a home is from the centre.
Do I need a car in Bad Gastein?
Not strictly. Trains serve Bad Gastein, Bad Hofgastein and Dorfgastein, so the valley works without a car. Bring one if you plan day trips or want the Tauernschleuse car shuttle from Böckstein to Mallnitz.
Bad Gastein or Bad Hofgastein for a villa stay?
Pick Bad Gastein for the waterfall, the Belle Epoque buildings and the Felsentherme on your doorstep. Bad Hofgastein sits lower, at 859 metres, and has the Alpentherme near where the Schlossalmbahn lift starts in town.
Is there a thermal spa in Bad Gastein?
There is. The Felsentherme has four spa areas surrounded by natural rock walls, fed by a valley where 17 hot springs rise from depths of up to 2,000 metres. The Gastein Healing Gallery adds 2.5 km of healing climate, reached by special trains deep inside the mountain at Böckstein.
