Thermal Swimming Lakes Immerse yourself & reenergize in genuine thermal water
Relax, unwind, feel good, escape, go with the flow. Time for elemental. You will find all of this at ur thermal swimming lakes in the heart of Gastein valley.
Of mountains & lakes
Two thermal lakes will invigorate you.
Swimming docks, purest thermal water, and the mountains of Gastein valley reflected on the surface, … the perfect timeout at our spa resort, far removed from the hectic outside world.
Green Jewel:
The Emerald Lake
The big thermal lake, our "Emerald Lake", with its turquoise water and an area of 1300 m2 , is located inside Relax World.
Wooden swimming docks and comfy loungers invite you to indulge your need for a spot of sunbathing.
Traditionally, "lake season" begins at the Alpentherme at the beginning of May. During the winter months, Emerald Lake is closed to enjoy a well-earned break of its own.
Clear as Crystal:
Our Crystal Lake
The smaller of our two thermal lakes is known as "Crystal Lake". Covering 370 m2, it is part of our Sauna World and an especially popular spot to cool off after a session in the sauna. Incidentally, you can also look forward to a very special experience in the Crystal Sauna, affording direct views of the lake as well as the Gastein mountains. Our Crystal Lake is open year-round.
Genuine thermal water without chlorine
What our two lakes have in common: They are filled with genuine thermal water. Every day, 150 m3 of it flows into the lakes, without us needing to add any chemicals such as chlorine. The water is kept clean by means of an organic filtration system - ideal for everyone who is dealing with skin problems or allergies. The setting of the lakes is also quite unique: in the middle of the Gastein valley, with magnificent 360-degree panoramic views.
If ever the weather gods choose not to cooperate, the soothingly warm indoor area of the Alpentherme greets you with thermal pools and six theme worlds, certain to entertain you until the sun lures you outside once more.
