The Dachstein is a dramatic mountain range in the Northern Limestone Alps of Austria. It\u2019s one of the busiest parts of the Alps \u2013 don\u2019t expect peace and quiet here. The area is especially popular for hiking, much like the rest of the Salzkammergut. That said, if you head off the main routes, you can still find trails where you\u2019ll be almost alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The highest peak of the Dachstein range is Hoher Dachstein (2,995 m), below which stretches the Hallstatt Glacier. The mountain is also known for its ice and limestone caves \u2013 there are more than 240 of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a quick overview of the best places to visit in Dachstein:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hallstatt<\/a> | Krippenstein<\/a> | Skywalk<\/a> | Hoher Dachstein<\/a> | S\u00fcdwandh\u00fctte<\/a> | <\/a>Stoderzinken<\/a> | Riesachf\u00e4lle<\/a> | Silberkarklamm<\/a> | Gosauseen<\/a> | Spiegelsee<\/a> | Rippetegg<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
And now let’s take a closer look at each place:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>1. Hallstatt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Where to stay in Hallstatt: Dormio Hotel Obertraun<\/a><\/strong> (resort with full facilities), Seehotel am Hallst\u00e4ttersee<\/a><\/strong> (2-star lakeside guesthouse), Pension Bergfried<\/a><\/strong> (3-star guesthouse in the centre of Hallstatt)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hallstatt is an iconic Alpine town with fewer than 1,000 inhabitants. Located on Lake Hallst\u00e4tter See in the Salzkammergut region, it\u2019s surrounded by the peaks of the Dachstein mountains. The entire area is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n ![\"Hallstatt](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hallstatt-4-2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n![\"Hallstatt](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hallstatt-6-2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDuring the high season, Hallstatt gets extremely crowded. To enjoy it more peacefully, come in the off-season or visit early in the morning or later in the evening, when the biggest crowds have left. Car parks often fill up by mid-morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If that’s the case, you can park in Obertraun and take the boat across the lake<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 a scenic 25-minute journey that\u2019s an experience in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n ![\"Hallstatt](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hallstatt-2-2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n![\"Hallstatt\"](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hallstatt-7-2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you walk through the town along the lakeshore, you’ll come across some stunning viewpoints \u2013 this is<\/a><\/strong> where you can take the most iconic photo of Hallstatt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can either hike or take the cable car<\/a><\/strong> up to the Welterbeblick Skywalk<\/strong>, a viewing platform with a bridge offering panoramic views over Hallstatt and the surrounding mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just a short walk from the Skywalk is the Hallstatt Salt Mine<\/strong>, one of the top attractions in Hallstatt. The guided tour takes about 1.5 hours and is suitable for both kids and adults. You can ride a small train into the mine, try wooden slides, and explore the history of salt mining through projections and exhibits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a>2. Dachstein-Krippenstein \u2013 5 Fingers Viewpoint<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Where to stay near Dachstein-Krippenstein: Lodge am Krippenstein<\/a><\/strong> (stylish hotel located right at the top of Krippenstein), Dormio Hotel Obertraun<\/a><\/strong> (full-service resort near the cable car), Seehotel am Hallst\u00e4ttersee<\/a><\/strong> (simple 2-star guesthouse by the lake)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Krippenstein<\/strong> is a popular mountain resort just above Obertraun and close to Hallstatt. There\u2019s plenty to see here \u2013 you can easily spend a full day, or even several days if you plan to hike in the surrounding area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Krippenstein](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/5-fingrs-vyhled.jpg\")
<\/a>View from Dachstein-Krippenstein<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n You can reach the Dachstein-Krippenstein cable car from Obertraun<\/strong>, where signs will guide you along the way. There\u2019s a large car park next to the lower cable car station \u2013 the first hour is free, then it\u2019s \u20ac5 for the whole day (2025). You can also take a bus from Obertraun or nearby Hallstatt; it stops directly at the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the summer season, the cable car starts running at 8:40 AM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Dachstein-Krippenstein cable car<\/strong> has three sections:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Section I<\/strong> takes you to the Giant Ice Cave and the Mammoth Cave.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Section II<\/strong> continues up to the top plateau just below the Krippenstein peak, where you’ll find the 5 Fingers viewpoint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Section III<\/strong> goes down to the Gjaidalm mountain hut, a good starting point for longer hikes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n ![\"Krippenstein](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/dachstein-krippenstein-2-2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n![\"Dachstein-Krippenstein](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/dachstein-krippenstein-2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDachstein Ice Cave and Mammoth Cave<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The Dachstein Ice Cave (also known as the Giant Ice Cave) and the Mammoth Cave are both accessible from the first intermediate station of the Dachstein-Krippenstein cable car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can visit both caves with a single ticket<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 it’s no longer possible to buy separate admission for just one. While both are worth seeing, we found the Ice Cave a bit more impressive. It\u2019s one of the largest ice caves in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inside, you’ll see dramatic ice formations enhanced by lighting and sound effects. Near the end of the tour, there\u2019s even a rope bridge suspended over a 30-metre-deep abyss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Giant](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/ledova-jesskyne-scaled.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThere\u2019s a short 15-minute uphill walk from the cable car to the Ice Cave. The Mammoth Cave takes you deep into the cave system inside Krippenstein \u2013 it’s one of the largest karst caves in the world and remains partially unexplored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both caves can only be visited on a guided tour. Even if you\u2019ve bought your ticket at the lower cable car station, you\u2019ll still need to register for a tour before entering the cave. After registration, you\u2019ll receive a group number and tour time. Waiting times vary depending on how busy it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n ![\"Giant](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/ledova-jeskyne-2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n![\"Giant](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/ledova-jeskyne-2-2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn front of the caves there\u2019s a small rest area with benches, a playground for children, and a restaurant for food and drinks. Temperatures inside both caves hover just above freezing, so pack extra warm layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 5 Fingers viewpoint <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The 5 Fingers viewpoint is about a 30-minute walk from the second (upper) station of the Dachstein-Krippenstein cable car, just below the Krippenstein summit (2,108 m). With the cable car station behind you, turn right and follow the wide, well-graded path. Sheep and goats often graze along the way, and the walk is pleasant even for families with children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n ![\"5](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/dachstein-krippenstein-3-2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n![\"5](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/kostel-2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlong the way, you can take a short detour to a small chapel and another viewpoint called the World Heritage Spiral (Welterbespirale) \u2013 which we actually found more interesting than the 5 Fingers viewpoint itself. Shaped like a boat and made of aluminium, it\u2019s hard to miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This viewpoint offers panoramic views of Hallstatt, Lake Hallstatt, and the entire plateau. There are also info panels showing how far away places like Prague, Machu Picchu, or Kamchatka are. It\u2019s a great spot to relax \u2013 you can even stretch out on a huge wooden sun lounger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"5](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/spirala-3.jpg\")
<\/a>World Heritage Spiral<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n The 5 Fingers viewpoint consists of five metal platforms, each about 4 metres long. It gets crowded during high season, so it’s best to take the first cable car of the day, go on a weekday, or visit during the off-season. All viewpoints on Krippenstein are free \u2013 the only paid attractions are the Giant Ice Cave and the Mammoth Cave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n ![\"5](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/krippenstein-kriz-2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n![\"5](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/5-fingers3-2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you’re not in a hurry, we recommend returning to the cable car station (there are two restaurants if you want a snack) and continuing on the other side along the Heilbronner Circular Trail. This is an easy 2.5\u20133 hour walk around the plateau, suitable even for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the highlights is a shark-shaped viewpoint, where you can climb into its open mouth and look out over the landscape through its teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, it\u2019s a very scenic trail that ends at the third cable car station, just a short walk from the Gjaidalm mountain hut, which is known for its excellent food. From there, you can take the cable car back to the second station and save yourself about 300 metres of elevation (walking down takes roughly an hour).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also do the loop in the opposite direction \u2013 starting with the descent to Gjaidalm and then hiking uphill back to the second station. Just note that this way includes a steeper climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\ud83c\udfe1 Where to stay around Dachstein<\/h4>
Here are a few recommended places to stay with good value, easy access to the mountains, and comfortable facilities for families and couples:<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n<\/a>![\"where](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ubytovani-Dachstein-9.jpg\")

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a>3. Skywalk, Suspension Bridge & Ice Palace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Where to stay near the Skywalk:<\/strong> Pension Hofweyer<\/a><\/strong> (Ramsau am Dachstein), Tauernblick<\/a><\/strong> (Schladming)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Dachstein Skywalk, suspension bridge, Treppe ins Nichts viewpoint, and Ice Palace are among the most popular attractions around Dachstein \u2013 perfect for a short trip or a half-day excursion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Skywalk](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/schody-nikam.jpg\")
<\/a>Viewpoint Treppe ins Nichts<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Between Filzmoos and Ramsau am Dachstein, turn off the main road onto the scenic mountain road leading to the Dachstein Glacier (from Filzmoos, the turn is on the left). You\u2019ll pass through a toll gate where you take a ticket \u2013 keep it with you, but you don\u2019t pay anything at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The road leads to a free car park at the lower gondola station. In both summer and winter, the car park fills up early, so it\u2019s best to come in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From here, take the cable car to the top station \u2013 the ride only takes a few minutes, but the views are already impressive. At the top, you\u2019ll find an open platform area and direct access to the Skywalk Dachstein, which is free to enter and offers panoramic views of the surrounding Alps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Skywalk](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/lanovka-ledovec.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhat to Expect at the Top Station<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
From the top cable car station, you can visit three additional attractions \u2013 these are ticketed but worth the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First is the Dachstein Suspension Bridge (H\u00e4ngebr\u00fccke), a 100-metre-long walkway perched at 2,687 metres above sea level \u2013 the highest suspension bridge in Austria. It sways slightly as you walk, which might be a bit unnerving, but it’s completely safe: built from 63 tons of steel, it\u2019s engineered to withstand winds up to 250 km\/h and loads of 750 kg\/m\u00b2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Dachstein](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dachstein-visuty-most.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOnce you cross the bridge, continue along the cliffside path to the Treppe ins Nichts (Stairs to Nowhere), a small glass platform that extends over the edge of the mountain. There\u2019s usually a short queue for a photo \u2013 and it\u2019s worth the wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next to the stairs is the entrance to the Dachstein Ice Palace, a network of ice corridors filled with carved figures, domes, and sculptures \u2013 you\u2019ll even spot frozen versions of landmarks like the Eiffel Tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dachstein-ledovy-palac.jpeg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nUseful Information for Visiting the Dachstein Glacier Cable Car & Skywalk<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Toll Road:<\/strong> To reach the Dachstein Glacier cable car, you’ll drive up a toll road. The standard fee is \u20ac20 per car (up to 9 people) or \u20ac6 for a motorbike. However, you can avoid paying if you validate your toll ticket at the cable car ticket office. Simply pick up the ticket at the toll gate, then get it stamped after your ride \u2013 the toll is waived.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- By Bus:<\/strong> You can also reach the Dachstein T\u00fcrlwandh\u00fctte (the lower cable car station) by bus. Bus line 960 goes directly to the station. A ticket costs \u20ac5 for adults and \u20ac2.60 for children aged 6\u201315. Check current schedules<\/a><\/strong> before your visit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Reservations:<\/strong> From May to September, it\u2019s mandatory to book the cable car in advance<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 ideally at least 2 days ahead. This applies even if you\u2019re using a free ride with the Schladming-Dachstein Sommercard (more about the card below).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Dogs:<\/strong> Dogs are allowed on the cable car for a small fee, but must wear a muzzle (available for purchase on site). Dogs are not allowed on the suspension bridge or inside other attractions like the Ice Palace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>4. Hike to Hoher Dachstein (2,995 m)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
At 2,995 metres, Hoher Dachstein is the highest peak of the Dachstein massif. You can reach it from the top station of the Dachstein Glacier cable car (see trip tip no. 3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The route leads across the glacier and then continues via a via ferrata to the summit. From the top, you can descend to the Seethalerh\u00fctte \u2013 a modern mountain hut where you can stop for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Hoher](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/mpst.jpg\")
<\/a>View from the top station: Suspension bridge in the foreground, Hoher Dachstein above, and Seethalerh\u00fctte just below the summit.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n If you’re looking for a shorter and easier hike, you can skip the summit and just walk from the top cable car station straight across the glacier to Seethalerh\u00fctte (about 40 minutes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prefer a full-day tour? From the same starting point, you can hike across the glacier to the Simonyh\u00fctte (approx. 4 hours 50 minutes \u2013 a demanding but rewarding route).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another option is a two-day ascent of Hoher Dachstein via the Adamekh\u00fctte, starting from the Gosausee lakes \u2013 ideal for experienced mountain hikers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>5. Dachstein-S\u00fcdwandh\u00fctte<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Dachstein-S\u00fcdwandh\u00fctte is a great starting point for hikes of various difficulty levels. The trail begins at the lower station of the Dachstein cable car (see tip no. 4), which can be reached either by toll road (\u20ac20) or by bus<\/a><\/strong> from nearby resorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hike to the hut is easy, takes around 40 minutes, and involves only a gentle climb \u2013 manageable even with kids. From the hut, you can take a short detour to a viewpoint with a bench, following the ridge just below the hut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n ![\"Dachstein](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/dachsteinhutte-2-2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n![\"Dachstein](\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/dachstein-hutte-lanovka-2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFrom this lookout, you\u2019ll get a panoramic view of the Schladminger Tauern mountains. You\u2019ll also find more hiking suggestions for this area elsewhere in this guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After returning to the hut, you can either head back the same way or continue further. More experienced hikers can follow the challenging but well-marked trail toward Hoher Dachstein. If you’re travelling with children, the F\u00fcnf-H\u00fctten-Weg (Five Huts Trail) is a great option \u2013 a scenic loop connecting several mountain huts at the base of the Dachstein massif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>6. Stoderzinken Peak (2,048 m)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Difficulty:<\/strong> approx. 1 hour to the summit<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Elevation gain\/loss:<\/strong> \u2191 326 m \u2193 130 m<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Stoderzinken is a relatively easy peak to reach, yet it rewards you with unexpectedly stunning views for its altitude. Just below the summit is the Friedenskircherl, a small wooden chapel built into the rock. Here, you can ring the bell for luck and leave a few coins to help maintain the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
