Winter vacation in Gastein

Also in the pre-Christmas season Gastein shows itself from a wonderful side. Contemplative Christmas markets, the smell of cookies, mulled wine or roasted almonds invite you to get in the mood for Christmas. By the way, you can also enjoy the ski resorts and the enchanting nature. A little time out in the Austrian mountains with ski hotels, wellness and relaxation can begin.

There are many ways to experience the winter wonderland of Gastein. In addition to Gastein's numerous sporting offers, there is also the somewhat quieter, passive variant to explore the wintry valley. How about a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride?

A somewhat more racy way to immerse yourself in the snow-covered nature is by tobogganing. Also on skids, but at a significantly faster pace, it's down winding tracks through forests and across snow-covered fields. Don't miss out on night to bogganing during your Gastein vacation!

The Gastein Valley is not only a paradise for winter sports lovers, but also for gourmets. The region offers a variety of culinary highlights that will make your skiing vacation an unforgettable experience. Try, for example, the Gasteiner Skihauben dishes in one of the cozy huts on the mountain, Salzburg hood chefs provide here for your very special stop.

Or enjoy a traditional, regional dinner in one of the many restaurants in Gastein. Perhaps one or the other innkeeper has a very special insider tip for you. Let yourself be surprised by the diverse flavors of the Salzburg region and treat yourself to a little break from skiing in between - pure enjoyment!

You can leave your car at home, because the journey to Gastein is perfectly mastered by train. The lifts & slopes as well as the thermal spas are within walking distance of many accommodations, and thus you are not dependent on your vehicle during your winter vacation. Nature will thank you!

A winter vacation that leaves nothing to be desired. You will not find so much variety in any other Austrian valley.
