Health Spa Hotels in Austria

Geologically, health spa hotels in Austria benefit from numerous thermal springs and the noble gas radon. Since centuries, spa hotels in the Austrian alps welcome patients seeking relief from rheumatic or arthritis pain. Customers can also choose between different fasting, active and Ayurveda programmes. The most popular spas amongst SpaDreams clients are located in the spa towns Bad Gastein, Bad Waltersdorf and Bad Hofgastein. As a site note, “Bad” translates to “spa”, indicating the officially certified spa town status.

During the 1940s, thermal water, the precious liquid, was found in Bad Gastein while digging a shaft in hope of finding gold. Hereafter, the first health spa hotels were opened and Bad Gastein has become Europe’s Alpine health region. Yearly, thousands of patients make their way to the Gastein Healing Gallery or other renowned spa hotels in the Austrian alps’ region in search for a long-lasting pain relief. In these health hotels, programmes are mainly medically based, covering rheumatism, back or skin problems, and strains of aching joints. Therapy forms are radon, thermal therapeutic baths and massages. Guests looking for an active and vital holiday programme come to the right place – daily alternating activities invite to improve physical inactivity while discovering the beauty of Austria’s surroundings. On the slopes of the waterfall, Bad Gastein’s skyscrapers line up closely reminiscing of a skyline which invited to name Bad Gastein the “Village of Skyscrapers”.

Embedded in majestic, rural landscapes, spa resorts in Bad Waltersdorf exist for more than 30 years. The first spas with real thermal baths were opened in this spa town. Today, patients still come to the natural spring oases to activate the body’s self-healing powers and to naturally strengthen the immune system. Experience the wonders of two natural thermal springs in one of our spa hotels in Waltersdorf.

Picturesquely located in the Gastein valley, in Bad Hofgastein, our health spa hotels focus on arthritis and osteoporosis patients. Framed by the unique alpine panorama, patients can fully focus on their healing journey and well-being. Let yourself be taken away when enjoying the touch of the soothing alpine air on skin and lungs.
