Vitality & health in Bad Gastein
After a day of adventure in the mountains, there's nothing better than immersing yourself in the warm, mineral-rich water of the unique Felsentherme spa . Surrounded by the clear mountain air and with the impressive mountain massif in front of you, you will feel the relaxation set in of its own accord.
The Gastein thermal water, which springs directly at the foot of the Graukogel, is rich in valuable minerals and the noble gas radon. It invigorates the circulation, promotes blood flow and ensures well-being in all fibers of the body.
In the Gastein Healing Gallery, the interplay of radon, heat and high humidity has a profound healing effect, which has been used for over 60 years to alleviate chronic complaints and provide intensive pain relief and strengthen the immune system.
