This small market town in the Safen valley is one of the closest spa resorts to the airport, which makes it a practical choice for a short wellness break straight off a Friday flight.
How long is the drive from Graz Airport to Bad Waltersdorf?
Most of the way is motorway. From the airport south of Graz, the driver loops round the city and joins the Süd Autobahn (A2) heading east towards Vienna. After Gleisdorf the A2 runs through the rolling hills of eastern Styria, and you leave it at the exit for Bad Waltersdorf, a few minutes from the spa area.
Because there is so little country road, the time varies mainly with traffic around Graz. Late Friday afternoons, when commuters head east out of the city, are the slowest period.
Two very different spas in one town
- Heiltherme Bad Waltersdorf
- A larger thermal spa with its own hotel, aimed at relaxation and health stays. The water was found in 1975 during drilling for oil and was later recognised as a healing spring.
- H2O Hotel-Therme-Resort
- A family resort in the Sebersdorf part of the municipality, built around a children's thermal spa with slides and a kids' programme, plus a separate sauna area for guests aged 15 and over.
- Guesthouses and farm stays
- Smaller pensions and apartments are scattered over the surrounding hills. Give the full address, since several sit on narrow side roads outside the centre.
Choosing the right vehicle
Couples with two suitcases fit easily in a standard car. Families heading to the children's spa usually travel with pushchairs, swim bags and sometimes a travel cot, so a minivan is the more comfortable option for four or more.
Child seats can be requested when booking; mention each child's age so the correct seat is fitted. The ride is private, so there are no stops at other hotels on the way.
