Photographers in Bad Gastein

Bad Gastein is unlike any other Alpine resort: grand Belle Époque hotels and villas cling to a steep slope, and a powerful waterfall thunders right through the middle of the village. Once a spa town for emperors and artists, it now attracts a creative crowd, with several historic buildings restored as design hotels.

That faded grandeur and drama make it a favourite for editorial-style couple shoots, elopements and fashion or brand content. Around the village, the Gastein valley adds alpine meadows, thermal spas, ski slopes and the quiet side valley of Sportgastein.

Photo spots in Bad Gastein

  1. 01

    Gastein waterfall

    The waterfall plunges through the village centre in several cascades. A bridge and footpaths give close views — expect spray, and a fantastic backdrop.

  2. 02

    Straubingerplatz & Belle Époque facades

    The square at the heart of the old resort, framed by historic hotels. Some buildings are under renovation, so the exact view can change.

  3. 03

    Stubnerkogel suspension bridge

    A cable car leads to the summit, where a suspension bridge spans a gap with views across the Hohe Tauern. Not for those afraid of heights — timetables vary by season.

  4. 04

    Kaiser-Wilhelm-Promenade

    A gentle, mostly level path along the slope with views over the valley and the village rooftops. Good for relaxed walks and soft evening light.

  5. 05

    Böckstein & Sportgastein

    The historic mining village of Böckstein and the high valley of Sportgastein beyond — open meadows in summer, deep snow in winter, and far fewer people.

When to go

Summer offers green slopes, hiking paths and long evenings on the hotel terraces. Autumn brings golden colours and calm days. In winter, snow settles on the ornate rooftops and the slopes of the Gastein ski area start just above the village, giving a romantic, almost cinematic look.
