Summer in Bad Hofgastein
Bad Hofgastein is primarily known for winter tourism, but its summer offerings make it an exceptional investment. Many visitors, particularly from Germany, the Netherlands, and Austria, come specifically during the warmer months.
Central to its appeal is the year-round Alpentherme Gastein, which features radon-enriched thermal water and six themed areas, including thermal pools, family adventure zones, and wellness facilities.
In summer, the ski lifts support a vast network of hiking and biking trails, with over 350 kilometres available. The Schlossalm cable car opens access to the Almorama Mountain Experience, offering circular hikes, a mirror lake, slackline parks, and rock-climbing routes. Activities like paragliding and horseback riding enhance the summer experience.
Golfers can enjoy the Golf Club Gastein, located about 3.3 miles from the town centre. For swimming, the Gastein bathing lake and Solarbad in nearby Dorfgastein are popular options.
The area boasts a rich cultural calendar, with events such as the Mountains in Flames festival in June, the Tanz: Fest Gastein dance festival in July, and the traditional Bauernherbst festival from August to October.
