Skiing & Snow Boarding?

Yes, it’s a possibility on the Dachstein Glacier for most of the year. It does close during mid summer to preserve it. Check before travelling.


Climbing

The Dachstein is a paradise for mountaineers, mountain climbers and climbers. The opportunities for the enthusiast to traverse the Dachstein mountain range are endless. There is far more information on the Ramsau website than I could ever do justice here. www.ramsau.com

Walking

Ramsau in summer is a hikers paradise, the choices are many, and of varying difficulty. If it’s a ramble you are after there are circular walks on the Ramsau plateau, which you can leave and rejoin for all those refreshment stops you deserve. If you have a bit more energy there are various tracks that take you up the Dachstein mountain range “don’t forget to stop and enjoy the views, get your breath back pit stops”. From Haus Maria there’s a track that leads up to Guttenberg Haus and a crossroads of footpaths leading off in all directions to explore the Dachstein peaks. Another alternative is taking the cable car from Türlwand up to the Dachstein Glacier where you will find walks to many of the peaks in the Dachstein range. There are refreshments up here but you should go well prepared for peace of mind.


The Roads


If you are coming by car or motorcycle there are some great roads to explore. One of our favorites is the Grossglockner Straße.

Probably the most well known alpine road in Austria. The 48 kilometers of high alpine road with an ascent of 2504 meters and 36 bends takes you to the Grossglocker the highest mountain in Austria standing 3798 meters above sea level.

En-route there are loads of places to stop and pause for breath at the sheer scale of what lies before you. In all there are 12 visitors centres where you can learn about the history behind the building of the road, the glaciers and the natural beauty of the Hohe Tauern National Park. A great day out for all age groups.
