Hoher Dachstein

Visited in winter 2023. Beautiful and easily accessible mountains thanks to the elevator. You can park the car almost near the elevator, go up and have a walk at almost 3 km altitude. Actually, there is a couple of attractions on the top - restaurant, ice cave, suspension bridge, stairway to nowhere. It may take near 2-3 hours to visit everything and have a lunch. Be mindful of clothes - it's quite windy

Such a beautiful spot. I have great memories

Beautiful mountain at the border between Styria and Upper Austria with a height of nearly 3.000 meters above sea level. Allows for great hiking trips on lower levels and great outlooks from the gondola mountain station. Is reachable via a gondola that even has a balcony for adventurous visitors. To reach the gondola, you can either go there by car (consider that the alpine street is a toll street with fees) or by public transport (direct busses from Schladming, that are free to use if you have a valid Schladming Sommercard). Be sure to reserve a spot for ascent and descent in advance, as they will require it.

Perfect unique experience, make sure you visit in a good sunny weather to be able to spend time outside. And dont forget to validate the tolls ticket at the mountain top, before goimg down!!

I visited in the last week of October and it was still possible to reach the top thanks to good weather. Coming from Adamekhutte you need a glacier equipment as well as ferrata equipment. Truly a magical place

Magnificent mountain, hard find words to described this breath taking place. If you travelling around you must visit this scenic area. Between sky and ice - at an altitude of 2,700 meters The Dachstein, the highest mountain peak in Styria, the distinctive, lacy limestone mountain chain, is one of the most popular destinations in the whole of Austria, thanks to the lookout, which can be reached by cable car, and which awaits visitors with many experiences. Located between the Salzkammergut lake region and Styria, on the northern side of the nearly 3,000-meter high Dachstein, on the glacier, you can take an easy walk in the kingdom of eternal snow on a built-up route. In addition to the SkyWalk lookout, the Ice Palace and the nerve-wracking suspension bridge built a few years ago, spanning a depth of hundreds of meters, are an unmissable sight and a unique experience.

What a beautiful scenery, an absolute must! The peaks covered in snow will leave you in awe. Especially on a sunny day, the contrast of the deep blue sky to the grey rock and the pure snow enhance the whole experience. In winter the area looks like a white desert. Stunning! I recommend doing the 25km Dachstein Überquerung (Dachstein crossing) as a cross country ski hike. Normal alpine skis suffice (but cross country skis would be better). It is suitable for the inexperienced with moderate stamina. The gondola at the star, plus the one on the Krippenstein and the bus back is roughly €50 (April 2018).

I think this is the most beautiful place I seen until now. Everywhere you will look you will see mountains. It was a great experience and in my opinion the price was good. The price is 43€ per person and includes the parking auto, the cable car, suspended bridge and the ice cave. In the top of the mountain is a restaurant with good food and baverages, the personal is very nice and prices are good. In the restaurant you can buy suvenir if you want.
