WHY BAD GASTEIN
Belle Époque hotels around a waterfall, thermal water and ski lifts from town.
Bad Gastein is the most dramatic spa town in the Alps: grand hotels stacked up a gorge around a waterfall, radon-thermal baths and, in winter, skiing from the door. We choose the renovated grand houses and the wellness hotels above town.
