Summer vacation over the rooftops of Bad Hofgastein - indeed perfect for relaxing holidays in a dreamlike place, where a variety of holiday dreams come true.
The Pyrkerhof with its spectacular views of the Gastein valley is located amidst a summerly paradise, just right for sweet “dolce far niente”.
With the motto “Mountains & Spa” your Alpine summer will become a very special experience. The holiday region of Gastein offers an unequalled variety of leisure activities.
It is not by chance that the Gastein Valley with its three localities – Dorfgastein, Bad Hofgastein and Bad Gastein - looks back on a long tradition as a holiday region.
Bad Hofgastein which is overlooked by the Pyrkerhof is the geographical midpoint.
Let yourself be enchanted by the special flair of this tourist centre with its rich tradition. A delightful combination of a charming touch of the old “summer-resort” and a modern tourist infrastructure with all the amenities presupposed for a break from everyday life in the 21st century.
The merits of the Gastein thermal springs are known for a long time. Paracelsus said: "The active ingredients of the water of Gastein are God's own composita." Already in the 16th Century, there are images that show men and women bathing in the " Wildbad in the Gastein”. And when in the 19th century the phrase “summer-resort” became fashionable, the Gastein valley experienced a great boom and became THE spa and health centre of the Alps.
Today, the Gastein Valley is certainly not only a destination for a course of treatment. The amazing mountain scenery itself with the National Park “Hohe Tauern” with its special climate is worth gold.
Enjoy your holiday with us – in the largest valley in the Tauern Region of Salzburg.
With an incomparable diversity of infrastructural facilities and an intact nature, the Gastein valley is quite suitable for an active or spa holiday without a trace of boredome!
