HOT SPRINGS, FASCINATING SUMMITS, & THE BEST LOCATION Johannesbad Hotel Palace is located in the heart of Bad Hofgastein in the middle of the most beautiful Alpine panorama. Enjoy a magnificent view from our sunny terrace or kick back in a lounger while reading a book in the romantic hotel garden. You can also take a stroll on inviting walking paths in the park around the duck pond. In the evening when the hikers and skiers return from their tours, the wellness guests are completely relaxed, the golfers have packed up their clubs, and families return to the hotel having experienced exciting adventures, it is time to head to the hotel restaurant and feast from the buffet. From old to young, everyone will find their own personal fun. That’s not all: the cozy pine lounge and the bright seminar room offer groups undisturbed hours in a private ambiance.

FOUR IN ONE – THE SNOW-COVERED PARADISE OF THE GASTEIN VALLEY Gastein is considered one of the most beautiful and largest ski areas in Salzburger Land. Together with Ski Amadé, an unbelievable 760 km of slopes is made accessible to skiers in the winter sports region. The Schlossalm-Angertal-Stubnerkogel area is ideal for the entire family. Slopes for every ability level, practice areas for beginners, and ski huts for cozy breaks are awaiting young and old. The Sportgastein ski area is the highest ski area in the Gastein Valley and delights freeriders and off-piste skiers. Pros, who prefer black ski runs, should head out to the Graukogel. The family-friendly ski runs in the Dorfgastein-Großarl ski region lead into the Großarltal. At an elevation of 2,600 m, skiing enthusiasts will find the best conditions until well into spring.
