Bad Gastein is approx. 1 hour 20 mins south of Salzburg, a 2.5 hour drive from Munich and a 3 hour drive from Vienna. Those driving from the UK, it's a 11.5 hour drive from Calais (1216km or 755 miles). The Gastein Valley is only accessible through tunnels at the north and southern ends of the valley. The tunnel at the southern end is a rail tunnel but it is possible to take your car on the train.
If you travel to the apartment by car, we will send you a map and accurate directions to Apartment Graukogel before your stay.
