The Gastein Valley in winter

A paradise for snow lovers

The Hohe Tauern and Niedere Tauern mountain ranges, which lie right on the doorstep of our hotel in Dorfgastein, are perfect for active pursuits. The Hohe Tauern is ideal for high-altitude ski tours, while the Niedere Tauern is perfect for gentle winter hikes and snowshoe tours.

From Grandma's herbal kitchen: sage honey

The production of delicious and beneficial sage honey is a tradition at the Akitvhotel Gasteiner Einkehr. Host Elisabeth makes it according to Grandma Christine's recipe. A good move!

What's more, recipes like these are part of family history and remind us of special moments—moments that you can taste during your hiking vacation in Austria.
