Review & FAQ:

Set in the High Tauern mountains, Bad Gastein first rose to fame because of its bubbling natural hot springs. Believed by some to have miraculous healing properties, the thermal waters can be enjoyed at many of the town's spas and resorts. The impressive Gastein Waterfall is located right in the center of the town, surrounded by gorgeous Belle Époque buildings and enticing fir forests. Although the area is most popular with tourists who come to ski during the winter season, there are plenty of excellent hiking opportunities to be found here during the warmer months.
