Bad Gastein

One of the Alps' most striking towns — belle-époque villas stacked up sheer wooded rock around a thundering waterfall, with radon-rich thermal baths and steeper slopes off the Stubnerkogel and Schlossalm. Bad Gastein is for skiers who want scenery, spa culture and character as much as the pistes.
