Last night we arrived at our hotel in Bad Gastein. We ate dinner at Jagerhausl, a restaurant just below our hotel. There is a picture of the restaurant which was probably one of the best places we ate during our entire trip. They served good beer and wonderful traditional Austrian food.
Bad Gastein is located in the Hihe Tauern National Park. The entire town is basically built into the mountain side so there are incredible views from every angle. The town seems quite quiet for being the week before Christmas. We asked a few people where everyone is and evidently the high season starts December 26th, so many of the restaurants and hotels have just reopened for the season.
There is also not a ton of snow. The locals also told us that this is the first year in many that it didn't start snowing in November. They are making snow on the ski runs but evidently not all of the run are open just yet. The local restaurants and hotels are all hoping for a big snow storm!
