Bad Hofgastein Thermal Resort

Bad Hofgastein is a charming Alpine spa village in the Gastein Valley of Salzburg Province, part of an extraordinary thermal region where naturally radioactive radon-bearing waters and bicarbonate springs have been used for bathing and wellness since the Middle Ages. The Gastein Valley's thermal waters, long sought by visitors for relief from the strains of daily life, are piped directly into hotel pools and the famous Felsentherme wellness complex. Surrounded by peaks rising above 2,600 metres, Bad Hofgastein offers a perfect combination of Alpine skiing, hiking, and restorative thermal bathing in a single valley destination. The village's gentler character compared to neighbouring Bad Gastein makes it a popular choice for families and wellness seekers desiring a quieter mountain spa experience.
