Spa holidays are more current than ever – whether so as to get springtime off to an active start, relax for a few days in summer, in autumn (the classic time of year!) or, of course, in winter – each season has its own special appeal when it comes to enjoying the benefits of a spa resort in Bad Hofgastein.

Year-round, Gastein Valley offers that extra special something for fans of outdoor sports, for active timeouts, for people wanting to enjoy the finer things in life, or simply just “because”. And that is completely in tune with the vacation trends of today. What are holidaymakers looking for? The answer is simple: More! But not with a view to making their valuable free time even more hectic than their every-day life already is. Rather, it’s all about variety; the variety that every season brings – summer or winter – to be enjoyed to the fullest and as individually as possible.

“Relaxation” means something different to everyone – though however you define it, you can always add the perfect finishing touch with a visit to the spa! The famous hot springs of Gastein were actually mentioned all the way back in 1230: Penned in that year was a poem about bathing entitled “Die Graserin in der Gastein” – the oldest existing description of the medical benefits of our thermal waters. Afterwards, famous figures of that time would visit Gastein Valley time and again – including Emperor Frederick III, the legendary physician Paracelsus, as well Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Elisabeth of Austria, Emperor William of Germany and Prince Bismarck, to name but a few.
