Golf courses Bad Gastein

Racket? Check! In the Gastein Valley, tennis, golf and mini golf become special vacation experiences. The finest Alpine panorama is always there while playing tennis, on the 18-hole course at the Gastein Golf Club, the other courses in the area or a match on the Poser tennis court.
Adrenaline

Air or water?

We like it wild: paragliding, the Flying Waters Zip Line, a helicopter flight or rafting in roaring mountain streams - look forward to vacation adventures and unique experiences in the air or on the water. Via ferratas and the Klammstein climbing garden also get the adrenaline pumping. On the other hand, panning for gold and archery are more relaxing.

Fun comes on two runners on the toboggan run in Bad Gastein. Groomed toboggan runs start at the Bellevue Alm or the Schlossalm ("Aeroplan" natural toboggan run), enticing young and old alike to enjoy a speedy ride through the Alpine landscape.
You can experience a very special toboggan ride in Sportgastein. Instead of horses or reindeer, huskies are harnessed to the sledge. Nevertheless, you feel as happy as a child on Santa's sleigh.
