MOUNTAIN FUN IN GASTEIN

What is the set-up of the Marienstein mountain lodge?

Haus Marienstein fits groups of up to 19 persons. You can choose from three double bedrooms, two bedrooms for four and one for five persons. Most rooms have their own bathroom and wc. There's a vintage large fully equipped kitchen and a common Stube with a wood stove and plenty of comfortable sitting space with dining tables and open views to the forest around the lodge.

What's the access to the mountain lodge like?

Via Dorfgastein, Hofgastein, Bad Gastein, Böckstein and past train station in Anlauftal.
Access to Marienstein is surprisingly easy with only last 250 meters off an actual asphalt road - a wide flat forest road gets cleared from snow in winter and there is usually no need for snow chains although we recommend having one in the car with you as Gastein gets often snowed in and you might end up needing it.

What can you do around the lodge?

Due to its location on the valley floor with peaceful spruce forest around and a mountain creek behind the lodge you're right in the middle of that thing called Nature. In summer you can go on short walks around the house that take you to various waterfall locations in matter of half an hour. On the other hand Haus Marienstein is a great starting point for hikes up Anlauftal valley and for a famous crossing of HoheTauern via the ancient Römer Weg to the top of Korntauern and down to Mallnitz with return by train through the Tauernschleuse. You can do very much the same in winter too with good weather - short walks around the mountain lodge are always an easy option and big hikes you can go on backcountry skis or splitboard.
