From Bad Gastein: Private Hallstatt & Alpine Lakes Day Trip

Discover Hallstatt and the Alpine Lakes on a private day trip from Bad Gastein. Enjoy a scenic drive, explore Hallstatt's historic sites, and visit St. Gilgen on Lake Wolfgang.
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Bad Gastein, Bad Hofgastein, Dorfgastein, or Sportgastein. Settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned car or minivan and enjoy a scenic drive through the Salzach and Lammertal valleys.

Stop at Lake Gosau for a short walk along the shore, where you can admire the Dachstein glacier reflected in the lake. Continue to Hallstatt, a UNESCO World Heritage village, and take a guided walk through the Market Square, lakeside lanes, and parish church. Learn about the town’s 7,000 years of salt mining history.

Enjoy 2.5 hours of free time in Hallstatt. Have lunch, visit the Bone House, or take the funicular to the Skywalk "World Heritage View" platform 350 meters above the lake (tickets not included). Your guide will recommend the best places to visit.

Next, drive to St. Gilgen on Lake Wolfgang for a coffee and a final photo stop. Finally, relax on the drive back to your hotel, passing through Salzburg.

In winter, snow-covered Hallstatt and Lake Gosau make this a perfect rest day from skiing or a break from the spa. Because the tour is private, it runs at your pace.
