The glacier – the highlight of Styria
Even the ascent with the panoramic cable car of the Dachstein glacier railway is an experience in itself. The Dachstein massif seems close enough to touch. Once you arrive at the completely renovated mountain station at an altitude of 2,700 metres, you can't help but be amazed. "Take a deep breath and feel the energy of the mountains" - the newly created viewing platforms & attractions around the mountain station invite you to recharge your batteries:
- Sky ladder: 12 steps up to a glass platform, from where a breathtaking view of the Dachstein opens up.
- Stairway to nowhere: 14 narrow steps to the ultimate deep & wide view
- Suspension bridge: Austria's highest suspension bridge promises thrills with a view
- Skywalk: Breathtaking views of the Hohe Tauern and as far as Slovenia and the Czech Republic
- Dachstein Ice Palace with new exhibition & ice sculptures
- Digital binoculars with a view of the Koppenkarstein
- Engagement spot for the perfect selfie with a view of the Dachstein
- "Energy Crystal" art object near the mountain station
Please reserve your fixed gondola seat in advance. Due to the high demand, the gondola ride can only be guaranteed with a fixed seat booking. The booking fee is € 2.90 per person.
Hiking paradise Dachstein
The Dachstein glacier also offers the perfect backdrop for unique glacier hikes. Whether it's a snowy walk to the “Seethalerhütte” hut, enjoying the spectacular panorama on the adventure trail “kleiner Gjaidstein” or a guided tour across the alpine glacier area, hiking enthusiasts have everything they could possibly desire.
Dachstein alpine region: The car park at the bottom station of the cable car is also an ideal starting point for hikes. In the alpine region at an altitude of up to 1,900 m, you can hike either on leisurely trails or steeper climbs up to the vertically rising rock faces of the south walls of the Dachstein.
