Even though its very much the off-season there are still plenty of walking paths available on the sunny side of the valley. 
The Gastein Hohenweg is a level path from Bad Hofgastein to Bad Gastein. Its a walking path built in the 30's to generate work at the time of the Great Depression. It takes a couple of hours, that's of course if you manage to pass by all of the cafe/restaurants en route. There are about six to choose from, Annen Cafe, Jausenstation Grubhof, Sonnberg, Gamskar, Cafe Hubertus, Gamskar.
This walkers lunch consisted of a fresh trout with potatoes and a salad.

The more adventurous can take routes further up the mountain to the summits, Poserhohe and Gamskarkogel. That's a job for next summer.
The Gamskarkogel is claimed to be the highest grass topped mountain in Europe at 2467m and, of course, it has a hut on top for overnight stays or a beer, (closes in September).
If you are getting the impression that there are huts, alms and restaurants everywhere ready to serve beers and strudel, you are quite right! A point to watch is that most are cafes closed for a rest day (ruhetag) once a week.
