After our Melagence paper shoot in Bad Gastein, we couldn’t leave without sharing the places that made our time there special. From favorite dining spots to scenic mountain moments, this guide is our personal edit of the addresses we loved most.

If you’re planning a winter getaway, make sure to balance crisp outdoor adventures with comfort, quality, and ease. Start by gearing up with Sport Fleiss Ski Rental, the ideal partner for making the most of the colder months. With premium equipment, expert service, and a seamless rental experience, they’ll have you ready for the slopes in no time. Across five locations, their shops also offer a curated selection of stylish, high-quality sportswear and gear, making it easy to combine performance with a touch of alpine chic.

For a touch of style off the slopes, Wally Bad Gastein is a must-visit. Nestled right by the waterfall, this boutique effortlessly blends alpine charm with contemporary fashion. Thoughtfully curated collections and excellent, friendly service make it a perfect stop for adding a refined touch to your winter escape.

When it comes to dining, the choices are equally inviting. For an elegant evening, Regina Hotel serves high-quality regional ingredients with modern cooking, where Austrian classics meet subtle Mediterranean influences. For classic Italian comfort, Good Gastein offers handmade pasta and authentic Neapolitan pizza in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

For a true gourmet experience, Weitmoser Schlössl is ideal. Whether it’s a special dinner, a celebration, or a glass of wine after skiing on the Schlossalm terrace, the combination of alpine surroundings and carefully prepared cuisine makes it unforgettable.  Bellevue Alm, perched at 1,265 m, offers breathtaking mountain views, a vintage cable car, and Rodel downhill; perfect for a romantic night or a memorable ceremony.

For lunch or après-ski, Hirsch und Maus at the top of the mountain is a new favorite. With stunning views and a menu focused on regional, sustainable ingredients prepared with a modern twist, it’s the perfect spot to refuel.

For a cozy break, stop by Orania-Stüdberl for rich hot chocolate and traditional Apfelstrudel. Just a few minutes away, The Blond Beans serves expertly brewed coffee and Scandinavian buns, ideal for a sweet pause.

When it comes to skiing, Sportgastein and Skischaukel Stubnerkogel-Angertal offer well-groomed pistes and breathtaking alpine scenery. For a quieter experience,  Dorfgastein–Großarl delivers charming villages, relaxed runs, and picturesque mountain views.

After a day on the slopes, Felsentherme Bad Gastein is the perfect place to unwind. Tucked away in the Salzburger Land mountains, its mineral-rich thermal waters soothe, refresh, and rejuvenate, leaving you feeling completely relaxed.

If you’re in the mood for a stroll, the Kaiser Wilhelm Promenade offers scenic views and a peaceful atmosphere. For something more adventurous, hike through Kötschachtal to the Himmelwandhütte, combining fresh mountain air with stunning alpine scenery. Afterwards, Day Spa Das Goldberg offers a serene environment and soothing treatments, ideal for recharging after your outdoor adventures.

For a comfortable and stylish stay, consider Urban Nature or The Comodo. Both provide welcoming atmospheres and thoughtfully designed accommodations, making them perfect bases for exploring all that Bad Gastein has to offer.

For a truly elevated escape, DAS EDELWEISS Salzburg Mountain Resort in the Grossarl Valley is a five-star haven surrounded by pristine alpine nature. With its expansive Mountain SPA, refined regional cuisine, and the warm hospitality of the Hettegger family, it’s the perfect place to unwind and reconnect after days in the mountains.
