With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it'd be much more difficult to soak up all that Dorfgastein, 16 miles away, has to offer. Alpentherme Gastein, Schlossalm Funicular and Ski, Berge & Thermen Gastein alone make the drive out worth it. Situated 16 miles away, Hallstatt is another popular tourist destination. If you swing by, don't miss Dachstein Glacier, Hallstatt Salt Mines and Gosausee Lake.
