The tour
The fascination of the glacier fields of the Dachstein - as a contrast the high alpine pastures of this unique landscape. Hike from the Gletscherbahn mountain station (2,700 m) to the Guttenberghaus (2,146 m) and descent via the Lärchbodenalm to the Feisterer parking lot.

Turn-by-turn directions
From the mountain station you go down in a northerly direction. At the Schladminger lift turn right and follow the path to the valley station. Here you follow the marking No. 674 to the 2-seater chairlift valley station. The marked trail leads you in a southeasterly direction up and down over a barren landscape. After about 1.5 hours you reach the Feisterscharte where you already have a view of Guttenberghaus. Now the path leads over 1,000 meters in altitude down to Ramsau.
