Bad Gastein Train Station (Bahnhof Bad Gastein)

Bad Gastein boasts a unique and historically significant train station, one of the few high-altitude stations in Austria with direct Intercity (IC) and Eurocity (EC) connections. Its impressive Belle Époque architecture reflects the town's golden age. The station is located centrally, though steep roads connect it to parts of the town. It offers excellent connectivity to major Austrian cities like Salzburg and Vienna, and also to Germany (Munich). This makes Bad Gastein easily accessible without a car, promoting sustainable tourism. There are ticket counters and waiting areas. It operates year-round with frequent services. Note: steep walk/taxi ride from station to most hotels due to the town's vertical layout.
