About
The Alpentherme in Bad Hofgastein is the big, family-friendly one of the two Gastein thermal baths. Inside there are pools, saunas and a children's area with a current channel and an aquarium, outside there is thermal water under an open sky. In winter you sit in the warm pool and look at snow-covered mountains. If you want it quieter, the Felsentherme in Bad Gastein suits you better.
Insider tip
Anton
Local from Salzburg
I turn up at opening time, the loungers at the panorama window are still free and it is genuinely quiet. On ski days I take the afternoon ticket and I'm in the outdoor pool at sunset. Otherwise the afternoon belongs to families, and the multimedia pool gets busy.
Duration & difficulty
No trail and no ascent, you set the pace yourself. Two to three hours go by easily, and with the sauna it turns into half a day.
Best season
Open all year, but at its best in winter: sitting in the outdoor pool while it snows on you.
Location & access
In the centre of Bad Hofgastein, a few minutes on foot from the station. Parking is right at the baths.
