Relax in the spa

From the slopes to the spa or the "Heilstollen". After an eventful day on the skis or snowshoes, what is more beneficial than relaxing the tired muscles in a warm bath? For hundreds of years, the healing and beneficial waters of the Gastein springs have been famous beyond national borders.

The temperature in the various corridors of the Heilstollen varies from 37.5 to 41.5 degrees and the humidity rises from 70% to almost 100%. The Heilstollen owes their medicinal effect to a natural dose of advice. The Alpentherme in Bad Hofgastein, the Felsentherme in Bad Gastein of the valley are fed with the healing water.

While the parents relax in a warm bath or sauna in the spa, the children can enjoy the slides in the Family World.
