Thermal water
Bad Gastein owes its reputation as a spa town to a special natural treasure: its thermal water. 17 springs feed the valley with water that emerges from the ground at up to 48°C and has been valued for its healing qualities for centuries. It is especially known for helping with muscle and tendon complaints, rheumatic conditions and recovery. At Hotel Sonngastein, your hotel with a thermal-water pool in Bad Gastein, you can enjoy this water in the indoor pool, filled with 100% genuine Gastein thermal water. It is slightly mineralised, silky-soft and soothing for the skin and the whole body.
The natural noble gas radon, originally found in Gastein thermal water, is highly volatile and is no longer present in our indoor pool. For those who would like to experience natural, warm thermal water in its original form, we offer special thermal bubble baths at the hotel.
