Gastein Healing Gallery

The Gasteiner Healing Gallery is a natural health facility in Bad Gastein, Austria. The gallery is located in a mountain and uses the healing properties of the Gastein thermal water to treat various health problems.

History

More than 50 years ago, the people of Gastein set out again to mine gold ore, as they had done many times in earlier years. At an altitude of 1,280 m, a new adit was driven into the mountain for this purpose.

The search for gold was unsuccessful, but this disappointment for the mining industry was also to be a great achievement for the health sector:
In fact, geologists noticed the increase of air and rock temperature (up to 44 degrees) under relative humidity from a certain tunnel depth.

Live naturally pain free

After intensive research, the medical clinic of the University of Innsbruck confirmed the healing value of the Gastein Stollen.

The tunnel train takes you 2.5 km into the interior of the mountain, where the heat and high humidity cause the body to heat up to 38°C.

Radon absorption is increased and thus the metabolism of the cells is stimulated. Individual adaptation to the respective clinical picture and heat tolerance.
