Once the temperatures begin to rise again, the snowmelt reveals the imposing mountain world of the Hohe Tauern range as well as the highest “grass mountains” in Europe. Four modern lifts also carry summertime visitors to the top of our exciting local mountains, which boast Europe’s highest suspension footbridge, a number of via ferrata fixed-cable climbs and even a pine theme path. In total, the region boasts over 600 km of hiking paths, including the Gastein Trail, which gives hikers an opportunity to explore all of Gastein Valley. And indeed, there is a lot to explore – not only over 60 mountain huts and each of their culinary specialties, but also two spa resorts and all kinds of cultural variety in each of the three different towns.
