Your Mountain in Styria

The Dachstein Glacier

The ultimate destination in Styria, hiking & climbing, biking & paragliding

Experience at 2,700 meters, the highest mountain in Styria, an exciting glacier world & mountain highlights in a beautiful natural scenery and an equally gorgeous panorama.
The Dachstein is one of the most visited excursion destinations in Styria. No wonder - after all, it is the first glacier in the Alps from Oster. Even the driveway with the Dachstein panoramic gondola is an experience: you will overcome 1,000 meters of altitude and float close to steeply falling rock walls. Not spectacular enough, you can also experience them on the gondola balcony - "convertible feeling" pure. Arriving at 2,700 meters above sea level, you can see a fantastic panorama with hundreds of mountain peaks.
Attractions such as the Dachstein Suspension Bridge, the Skywalk, the Ice Palace or the staircase to nowhere await you.
Hiking, climbing, paragliding, skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing or simply enjoying the mountain air - everything is possible at the Dachstein!

  • The Dachstein is 2,996 meters high
  • Glaciour mountain lift station at 2,700 meters
