What We Do

Thermal Stone Pools

Hand-hewn rock basins fed by Gastein's radon-rich thermal springs, warmed naturally by the mountain itself year-round.

Family Swim Hours

Designated morning sessions reserved for families — gentle slopes, shallow edges, and alpine views for every generation.

Sauna & Steam Caves

Carved grotto saunas channel alpine herbs and mineral steam into quiet, contemplative heat experiences.

Seasonal Memberships

Year-round access to winter steam rituals, summer sunrise swims, and shoulder-season quiet retreats.

Alpine Wellness Programs

Guided cold plunges, breathwork by the pools, and stone-edge yoga sessions led by local practitioners.

Bistro & Mountain Pantry

Regional alpine cuisine served fireside — heirloom grains, mountain herbs, and warm stone-baked bread daily.

How We Work

Arrive & Breathe

Step into the valley, change in our timber-clad cabins, and feel alpine air settle before entering the water.

Enter the Stone

Lower yourself into the thermal basin — mineral warmth meets cool mountain breeze in perfect contrast.

Rest in the Garden

Linger on warmed loungers between swims, wrapped in linen, watching snowmelt cascade past the cliffs.

Carry It Home

Leave with softer shoulders, quieter thoughts, and the mountain held somewhere beneath your ribs.

What People Say

Swimming here feels like being held by the mountain itself. The stone, the silence, the warmth — nothing else compares.

Anna Hofer — Returning Guest, Salzburg

We have visited Felsenbad every winter for twelve years. It is the most honest place we know in the Alps.
