Bad Gastein

Bad Gastein hasn't always been known for skiing, with the village arguably better known for its thermal springs.

Whilst that creates a spa town vibe, the surrounding mountains and gorges provide some top class skiing to suit all levels, from beginners heading for the nursery slopes through to experts exploring glacial areas of heading off piste.

Various hotels can be found within the resort and cater for all tastes, with five star luxury and more cost effective options available depending on your needs.

You can also expect to find plenty of things to do away from the slopes, and a bustling apres-ski scene that includes a collection of bars and restaurants, as well as night clubs and casinos.

As a result, this is one of the top options around if non-skiing activities feature highly on your list and you don't plan to spend all of your time on the slopes.
