From the mountain station of the Dachstein cable car you go up the metal stairs to the start of the groomed hiking trail and from there slowly descend in the direction of the Gjaidsteinsattel. Please be considerate of the hikers next to you in this area. To the left of the saddle, you continue to the start of the cross-country ski loops of the Hallstatt cross-country ski run, which run back and forth across the glacier between the Kleiner Gjaidstein and the Eisstein. Have fun!
From the West: Take the A10 to Knoten Ennstal - take the exit towards Graz/Schladming. Drive along the Ennstal-Bundesstraße for approx. 20 km until you reach Schladming. Take the turn-off for Ramsau.
From the North: Take the Pyhrnautobahn direction Liezen. Then follow the Ennstalbundesstraße to Schladming. Take the turn-off for Ramsau.
Then continue through the village of Ramsau and follow the Dachstein toll road to the valley terminal of the Dachstein glacier cable-car.
You can find the RVB public bus schedule here.
Parking lot at the valley terminal of Dachstein Glacier cable-car.
Never leave the groomed areas! You are on a glacier where there may be crevasses just a few centimeters below the snowpack. You are on the safe side thanks to the tracks made by the snow groomer.
