Discover Gasen and find a hotel
Accommodation in Gasen
The municipality of Gasen is located in the Almenland region and is part of the Almenland Nature Park. When looking for a hotel in Gasen, the town’s varied attractions can help guide your choice of activities during your stay: circular routes, water and flood protection, church and music history, and insights into local farms each offer a different focus. You can start by considering whether you want your trip to centre on outdoor activities, culture, or a visit to alpacas and an herb garden. The local attractions offer concrete ideas to help you decide.
Trails and water offer different experiences
The Stoakogler Heritage Hiking Trail is a 10-kilometre circular route that begins and ends at the Stoanihaus. Its length and designated start and end point are clear details to consider if you want to include this trail in your plans. By contrast, the MĂĽhlenpanoramaweg begins and ends in the centre of Gasen. The routes therefore differ in their stated key details: the Stoakogler Heritage Hiking Trail is ten kilometres long and starts and ends at the Stoanihaus, while the MĂĽhlenpanoramaweg starts and ends in the town centre. These details provide different points of reference for planning, without assigning either route a walking time or difficulty that has not been specified.
The Gasen Flood Protection Experience Trail offers a different focus. It explores water as both a source of life and a natural hazard. In a playful way, the trail explains the power of water, why flood protection matters, and the role forests play in the water balance. The theme of water thus links fundamental concepts with a practical look at flood protection. The award also relates to the project: the project combining flood protection measures and the experience trail took second place in the Flooding/Heavy Rain category at the CliA State Award for Climate Change Adaptation in 2024.
Discover church history and music
The history of the parish church in Gasen dates back to the construction of the first church around 1280. The church was extended around 1360; in 1688, it was given a Baroque makeover and expanded into its present form. These dates trace the church’s development over several centuries. The church offers a historical focus for your visit, distinct from the nature and water themes of the trails.
The Stoani Haus der Musik celebrates the Stoanis and the local music scene. A multimedia show in a cinema setting complements listening stations where the Stoanis share personal and moving stories. You can also discover stories about their working and private lives, as well as the music scene as a whole. The listening stations and the show explore the subject in different ways, covering both stories from the Stoanis’ lives and the wider musical context.
A closer look at farms and an herb garden
At the Stelzer Alpine Farm, visitors can tour the farm, including its alpaca stable and enclosure, visit the farm shop, and take a guided alpaca hike. They can also learn about raising alpacas and their daily lives, as well as their wool and the products made from it. A visit brings together several aspects of alpacas: their daily lives, how they are kept, their wool, and a guided hike. If you want to plan your trip around experiences like these, the farm is a concrete alternative to the trails, church, and music attractions.
The Pöllabauer family’s herb garden (vlg. Hochegger) is located at an altitude of 1,100 metres in Gasen. Herbs, flowers, trees, and shrubs grow there. A guided tour of the farm with a tasting is also available. The garden’s plants, the tour, and the tasting are all part of this experience. The herb garden adds a look at a local farm to the range of attractions, while the Stelzer Alpine Farm focuses on animals, wool, and a guided hike.
The outdoor swimming pool in the town centre
Gasen’s outdoor swimming pool is right in the town centre. It has a heated outdoor pool and a heated children’s pool with a baby area. If you are planning a visit, it is best to check the current opening hours and season dates in advance.
