5 Great Spa Destinations Around Salzburg

Thinking of a relaxing break in an Austrian spa town? Salzburg Airport transfers are available to get you to wherever you want to go and soaking in the hot, thermal baths while taking in the natural wonders of Austria’s alpine mountain ranges is, indeed, an excellent way to soak your stress and fatigue away.

Here are some of the best resort towns and resorts you may want to consider booking your Salzburg airport transfers to visit.

1. Bad Gastein – When people think of spas in Austria, one of the most notable destinations that come to mind is Bad Gastein. With a rich history of hosting monarchs and emperors seeking health and respite in its radon-infused waters, this particular spa town was once one of Austria’s most iconic spa resort towns. Many resorts and accommodations were left to languish in decades past, but recent investments and renovations in the region are bringing Bad Gastein back in the eyes of the world.
2. Bad Hofgastein – If you're on the lookout for a more exclusive and luxurious resort to spend your much-needed holiday, Bad Hofgastein is wan excellent option. A series of four-star plus and five-star hotels underscore the degree by which Bad Hofgastein has been developed with discerning tastes in mind. Equally attractive are the numerous ski pistes, shopping centres, sky bars and adventure courses – all of which make Bad Hofgastein a popular choice. Convenient Salzburg Airport transfers are available to what could be the most luxurious spa experience in Austria.
3. Ladis – If you want to visit a unique thermal spring that is stronger and more bracing than your average spa, consider Ladis. The higher sulphuric content of the waters in the springs give them a stronger-smell and a feel more 'tingly' feeling than other spas with more benign waters. Ladis’ location close to a number of ski pistes also makes it quite appealing to visit during winter. During summer, the greenery surrounding Ladis makes it a perfect venue for hiking, camping and having a picnic.
4. Bad Blumau – The town of Bad Blumau is another great venue for those seeking a luxurious, comfortable spa break. The resort is comprised of amazing architectural structures and springs rigged with underwater speaker systems channelling music through its waters, with one notable spring gurgling waters up to a sweltering 110 degrees Celsius. The resort also has a distinctly family-friendly appeal, with children getting their own pools to frolic in.
5. Bad Häring – For another spa resort with sulphuric waters to promote health and wellness, Bad Häring is one to keep in mind. The small town actually has its roots as a mining town. This lends a charmingly rustic appeal to Bad Häring – and it's perfect when you would rather get away from all the crowds and concrete of the city.

Any of these spa resorts will make for a relaxing and memorable experience in Austria and all are very easily accessible via the Salzburg airport transfers.
