Summer in Gastein
Summer on the mountains: Time of flowers in the Austrian Alps
Sweet-smelling mountain meadows and sunny views are only some of the ingredients of a perfect summer holiday in Gastein. During summer months, alpine nature wakes up in all its beauty and colors.
Summer in the Gastein mountains
In May, colored spring flowers cover the meadows around Gastein and contrast with the still snow-covered peaks and slopes. When, at the end of June, the cows return to the alpine pastures, the mountains around Gastein become a multicolored sea of blossoms. At the end of June, the day of the summer solstice, a unique, extraordinary spectacle takes place on the mountains around Gastein, „The burning mountains“. Upon the arrival of summer, on the peaks all around the valley of Gastein fires are lit to welcome the summer solstice. A particular highlight not to be missed is the solstice fire on mount Stubnerkogel at 2,246 m. Take part in the moment when the fires are lit accompanied by the sound of the traditional Alphorns. Enjoy the summer in Gastein and experience fiery, unforgettable moments on the mountains.
