Fixed-price booking for an unforgettable Dachstein adventure
Do you already have the Schladming-Dachstein Sommercard ? We still recommend a fixed-seat booking. 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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
- Please note that toll charges apply for road use if the gondola is not used. When using the gondola, the toll for the Dachstein road is included, please validate your toll ticket at the machine in the Dachstein mountain station so that you can enjoy free road use.
- Especially in the summer months, our offer on the Dachstein glacier is heavily dependent on the weather and snow conditions. In the glacier report you will find daily updates on snow and weather conditions, piste and lift facilities, cross-country ski trails and the additional offers on the Dachstein Glacier.
Explore the new perspectives on the Dachstein
The Dachstein - an incomparable summit
The Dachstein – since time immemorial a favoured destination for alpinists – is not “only” a mountain, but at 2,995 metres a true stand-out peak in the Austrian Alps. In 1969 the Dachstein glacier became accessible to tourists thanks to the Dachstein Südwandbahn cable car. In 2024 a new era of supreme enjoyment will begin on the Dachstein with the reopening of the completely renovated and modernised mountain station.
A true crystal of energy
The completely refurbished Dachstein Südwandbahn mountain station at 2,700 metres above sea level focuses on sustainability and energy efficiency with a 125 KWp photovoltaic system. The photovoltaic glass panelling covers 1,000 m2 and ensures that 80 % of the energy required for the mountain station is generated in-house.
Brand new glavier restaurant
The centrepiece of the mountain station is the brand new glacier restaurant with breathtaking 280-degree views and a spacious outdoor terrace. The new "Himmelsbar" on the roof offers a view of the imposing south faces of the Dachstein.
New attractions are awaiting you
In addition to the popular Sky Walk, the Suspension bridge and the Stairway to Nothingness, newly created panoramic viewing platforms around the mountain station invite you to enjoy pure freedom:
- Dachstein Stairway to Heaven: 12 steps lead up to a glass platform, from where a breathtaking view of the Dachstein opens up.
- The Half Dome Globe – an interactive globe in the valley station
- Digital binoculars with a view of the Koppenkarstein
- The Insta-friendly engagement spot for a perfect selfie with a view of the Dachstein
- The Apptauen app – an interactive online tool to find out about the evolution of the Hallstätter glacier
- The “Energy Crystal” art object close to the mountain station
- The Dachstein Suspension Bridge, the Ice Palace and other attractions – to further enrich your Dachstein visit
Dachstein glacier
The Dachstein glacier, with a height of 2700 metres, towers majestically over Styria and is one of the most fascinating excursion destinations in Schladming. The impressive presence of the massive mountain alone is breathtaking, while the marvellous panorama across the Enns Valley to Slovenia and the Czech Republic leaves the viewer speechless.
A short ten-minute ride on the Dachstein panorama gondola is all it takes to immerse yourself in a completely new world. A breathtaking panorama stretches as far as the eye can see, accompanied by highlights such as the Dachstein Suspension Bridge with the Stairway to Nothingness, the Sky Walk and the Dachstein Ice Palace.
Sunrise Breakfast Dachstein
The sunrise trips, which take place in summer beginning in July, are your chance to experience the moment of the sunrise on the Dachstein glacier. The glacier restaurant team prepares an ample buffet breakfast, which provides plenty of energy to enjoy the Dachstein's great attractions including the suspension bridge, the stairway to nothingness, the Ice Palace and the Sky Walk.
Sunset on the Dachstein
Float up to the glacier during the day on the Dachstein panorama gondola, watch the sunset and then tuck into a hearty fondue with a salad buffet in the cosy atmosphere of the glacier restaurant with musical accompaniment to round off the day.
The sunset package is ideal for all epicures and romantics.
