Summer in the hills
When summer has come to the Gastein Valley, there is nothing more wonderful than to spend a day up in the hill country. With such gloriously clear, fresh air, colorful alpine flowers, and mountain vistas that take your breath away, hikers quickly forget the stressful daily routine they left far behind in the valley. Out on some 350 km of way-marked hiking trails – ranging from family-friendly to high-alpine – you will discover pristine countryside, imposing glacial regions and even old paths once used by gold miners. Along the trail, over 40 alpine huts invite you to stop in for a well-earned rest and refreshments: with hearty country fare, traditional cheese dumplings and meat pasties, intrepid mountaineers and casual hikers are able to fortify themselves for adventures to come. Hopeless romantics can even look forward to spending their honeymoon at a mountain hut: the Präau Hochalm in Dorfgastein features a cozy Honeymoon Suite and lovingly prepared meals that are certain to set the pulses of our newlyweds racing in anticipation. For a compelling summer’s night on the mountain, there is nothing better than a mystical Sunset Hike, during which you will hear a selection of ancient tales and legends.
