The tour
There is a reason why the Dachstein is also called "Austria's Touring Eldorado". Over 20 ski tours, crossings, and steep descents can be tackled from the Dachstein Gondola Mountain Station and Ramsau.
Turn-by-turn directions

Ascent: beautiful ski tour at the foot of the Dachstein Südwände. The ski tour starts from Gasthof Dachsteinruhe and leads towards Bachlalm. At Schaidalm, the ski tour goes through the larch forest towards Sulzenhals. Windlegerscharte (very difficult). Follow the path to the right and climb up to the Scharte (col).
