Yoga and meditation retreat in the Austrian Alps
Find your balance in the Gastein Valley
A yoga and meditation retreat is most powerful when the setting matches the intention. In the Gastein Valley – known for centuries as the “Valley of Healing” – the towering peaks of the Hohe Tauern, clear mountain air and profound natural stillness create exactly the right conditions to reconnect with yourself.
DAS ALPENHAUS GASTEINERTAL, an alpine lifestyle hotel for restorative health retreats in Austria, invites you to leave everyday stress behind and focus entirely on your wellbeing. Our specially designed ALPEN.KRAFT programmes combine yoga, meditation, mindful movement and the healing energy of the alpine landscape into a holistic experience that stays with you long after you return home. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or stepping onto the mat for the first time, a holiday in Gastein offers the space and guidance to go deeper.
Meditation holidays in the Austrian Alps
At the heart of every yoga and meditation retreat at DAS ALPENHAUS GASTEINERTAL are the five pillars of vitality: DETOX, DESTRESS, RESTART, YOGA and NATUR.MENSCH. Together, they form a structured path back to inner strength – drawing on energy and resilience, stress relief, nourishment, movement and a conscious reconnection with nature.
Throughout the year, our retreats and workshops translate these pillars into practice. Guided by experienced yoga teachers and workshop leaders, you choose from a broad spectrum of sessions tailored to different needs and experience levels. A highlight is the collaboration with wilderness educator Alfred Silbergasser, who leads guided walks to centuries-old power spots in the mountains – a uniquely grounding complement to your time on the mat.
The unspoilt landscape of the Gastein Valley becomes an active part of your retreat: meditate beside a mountain stream, practise breathing exercises in the forest, or simply sit in stillness and absorb the panorama of the Hohe Tauern. Nature here is not just a backdrop – it is a teacher.
More than a mat – yoga, movement and mindfulness
Meditation holidays at DAS ALPENHAUS GASTEINERTAL go well beyond silent sitting. Our weekly active and fitness programme offers a rich variety of mindful movement practices.
The hotel’s bright yoga room and garden yoga platform with mountain views provide inspiring spaces for daily practice. And if you visit in spring or autumn, you can join the legendary Yoga Days in Gastein – Europe’s largest yoga event, held right here in the valley since 2015. Over ten days, around 40 renowned instructors from across the world lead more than 300 sessions in every style imaginable. DAS ALPENHAUS GASTEINERTAL has been a partner venue from the very beginning.
Meditation retreat with spa enjoyment
A truly restorative spa and meditation retreat balances inner work with physical recovery. After a day of yoga, meditation and mountain air, the ALPEN.VEDA.SPA at DAS ALPENHAUS GASTEINERTAL is your sanctuary. Soothe tired muscles with a holistic massage, unwind in the sauna or treat yourself to a nourishing facial or body treatment – everything here is designed to bring body and mind back into harmony.
Combine your yoga retreat with hiking through the Hohe Tauern National Park or simply enjoy the stillness of the valley. In summer and winter alike, the Gastein region offers an inspiring backdrop for anyone seeking clarity, calm and renewed energy on their yoga and meditation retreat.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Gastein Valley – your place to breathe, move and find your centre.
