Bad Gastein

Editor's choice Bad Gastein

Bad Gastein’s alpine landscape is defined by the 140-meter Stubnerkogel Suspension Bridge and the Glocknerblick viewing platform, which provides sightlines to Austria’s highest peak. Thrill-seekers can traverse the Gastein valley via the Flying Waters zip line, while hikers can reach the 2,467-meter summit of Gamskarkogel, Europe’s highest grass mountain. The Gasteiner Museum documents the town’s evolution from a medieval mining hub to a world-renowned thermal spa destination.
