Through three towns that are as diverse as the landscape that surrounds them: Hiking here is rejuvenating and unique, something that one can only experience when out in the great outdoors. Every metre you cover strengthens the body – and revitalises the soul. You will encounter these feelings at a higher level on the Gastein Trail. When starting out from Dorfgastein, follow the trail along the west side of the valley, and as the summits of the Hohen Tauern become closer, you will experience what was at one time only encountered by pioneers and explorers: Concealed basin-shaped valleys are attributes of the surrounding countryside, along with steep grassy mountains, the high Alpine terrain and charming promenades. Over six days the Gastein Trail takes you high above Dorfgastein to Bad Gastein and back to Bad Hofgastein covering: 75 kilometres, and 4,643 metres in altitude. Hikers that conquer this trail will experience scenery that once attracted emperors and princes and enjoy a unique challenge in the world of mountains, and in nature, an experience that will recharge both body and soul with new energy.
