The Stubnerhof — a yellow-fronted family Gasthof with geranium balconies on the forest edge of the Kötschachtal, a foggy peak behind.

The quiet side of Gastein

A quieter address,
just above town

Family-run hotel on the forest edge of the Kötschachtal since 1975. A few minutes above Bad Gastein, and a good deal quieter.

Check availability

Up here, the valley keeps its hush.

A crystal-clear mountain stream runs right in front of the house, and four scenic hiking trails start at our door, the first of them without a car, a transfer or a lift ticket.

From our balconies you look out over the side-valley toward the Hohe Tauern. Depending on the room, the window faces the Stubnerkogel, the stream below, meadows or the old mill in front of the national park.

All of Bad Gastein, none of the noise.

Below us the belle-époque spa town drops down its gorge, with the waterfall running white through the middle of it. Everything the valley is known for is within a few minutes' drive.

  • The Gastein waterfall: white water falling straight through the centre of town.
  • Thermal spas: the Felsentherme in Bad Gastein at 1,100 m, the Alpentherme nearby in Bad Hofgastein.
  • Gasteiner Heilstollen: the healing galleries inside the Radhausberg, about 8 km away, around 15 minutes by car.

The Stubnerkogel cable car is about 4 km from our door, around 10 minutes by car.

Dinner where the day slows down

Dinner is served at your table in our own wood-panelled Stube, the room the house has gathered in since 1975 and the reason most evenings here run longer than planned.

Breakfast is a rich buffet every morning and is included in every stay; half-board adds dinner in the Stube to it when you book.

What waits outside the door

  • The ski bus: a short walk to the stop, then four ski areas with over 200 km of piste between them.
  • Stubnerkogel & Schlossalm: the valley's home mountains. Ski amadé is the wider ticket: five regions, 760 km of piste.

  • Bike, golf & tennis: mountain trails, valley fairways and open-air courts down in Gastein.
