Dachstein

Experience the exciting Dachstein glacier world & all its sights and activities above it all.

At 2,700 meters the highest mountain of Styria presents itself with a legendary natural scenery and a panoramic view over the mountain peaks of Austria far to the Czech Republic and Slovenia.

Attractions such as the Dachstein suspension bridge, the Sky Walk, the Ice Palace or the Dachstein stairway to nothingness make your unforgettable mountain experience even more exciting. Within this scenery, breathtaking moments are guaranteed as well as thrill with a view. Already the ascent - during summer on the balcony of the Dachstein panorama gondola is an outstanding experience for its own.

Cross-Country Skiing on the Dachstein glacier

The world's longest network of glacier cross-country trails stretches out against an incomparable mountain backdrop at an altitude of 2700 metres. From July to November the world's elite has the opportunity to enjoy ideal preparations for upcoming competitions  on 18 kilometres of diagonal and skating trails. 

Here are the foundations for medals laid. The glacier trails are also appreciated by pleasure skiers. In particular in autumn as many as 500 athletes from over 25 nations go to the superbly groomed cross-country trails of the Schladming and Hallstatt glacier every day.
