The Myth: The National Ski Tour on the Dachstein

The Dachstein is a special mountain and unfolds its magic and attraction especially on a ski tour. The world of snow, ice and rock is still impressive despite the retreat of the Dachstein glacier. Ski tourers who want to experience this world from the Styrian side are best off taking the Dachstein Südwandbahn up to the top station at 2,600 metres.

After a short ascent, the wonderful descent follows in the direction of the Simony-Hütte. After a stop at the hut, which is also open in winter, you can continue the descent to Obertraun or climb back up to the mountain station.

The Rumpler-Runde, which starts at the Krippenstein in Upper Austria, can also be tackled if you are fit enough. Experts then descend to Ramsau via the mountainous Edelgrieß variant.
