After just a ten-minute ride on the Dachstein panorama gondola, you will find yourself in a breathtaking glacier world. A marvellous panorama as far as the eye can see and attractions such as the Dachstein Sky Ladder, the Dachstein Suspension Bridge with the Stairway to Nothingness and the Ice Palace or the Sky Walk. On the highest mountain in Styria, in the heart of the Schladming-Dachstein holiday region, you can expect unforgettable views, a wide range of sports options, extraordinary attractions & culinary summit victories.

Fixed booking for an unforgettable Dachstein adventure!

During the summer months, please book your fixed gondola seat online in advance. 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 tolls will be charged 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 use of the road.
  • 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.

Enjoyable glacier experiences

Dachstein glacier restaurant

The modern Dachstein Glacier Restaurant awaits you directly at the Dachstein Gletscherbahn mountain station. With around 220 seats, it offers plenty of space for guests who want to dine in a cosy atmosphere.

Natural materials such as wood, stone and loden lend the restaurant an inviting charm that perfectly complements the impressive 280-degree panorama. A further 120 seats are available on the spacious, wind-protected sun terrace - ideal for enjoying the spectacular view.

A special highlight: the border between the provinces of Styria and Upper Austria runs right through the restaurant.

Whether savoury or sweet, hearty or light - there is something for every taste here. From regional specialities and varied daily specials to snacks and traditional snack platters, there is something for everyone.

Hiking paradise Dachstein

The Dachstein glacier also offers the perfect backdrop for unique glacier hikes. Whether it's a snowy walk to the “Seethalerhütte” hut, enjoying the spectacular panorama on the adventure trail “kleiner Gjaidstein” or a guided tour across the alpine glacier area, hiking enthusiasts have everything they could possibly desire.

Dachstein alpine region: The car park at the bottom station of the cable car is also an ideal starting point for hikes.  In the alpine region at an altitude of up to 1,900 m, you can hike either on leisurely trails or steeper climbs up to the vertically rising rock faces of the south walls of the Dachstein.

The glacier – the highlight of Styria

Even the ascent with the panoramic cable car of the Dachstein glacier cable car is an experience in itself. The Dachstein massif seems close enough to touch. Once you arrive at the completely renovated mountain station at an altitude of 2,700 metres, you can't help but be amazed. "Take a deep breath and feel the energy of the mountains" - the newly created viewing platforms & attractions around the mountain station invite you to recharge your batteries:

  • Sky ladder: 12 steps up to a glass platform, from where a breathtaking view of the Dachstein opens up.
  • Stairway to nowhere: 14 narrow steps to the ultimate deep & wide view
  • Suspension bridge: Austria's highest suspension bridge promises thrills with a view
  • Skywalk: Breathtaking views of the Hohe Tauern and as far as Slovenia and the Czech Republic
  • Dachstein Ice Palace with new exhibition & ice sculptures
  • Digital binoculars with a view of the Koppenkarstein
  • Engagement spot for the perfect selfie with a view of the Dachstein
  • "Energy Crystal" art object near the mountain station

Attractions at and around the top station

The Dachstein Sky Walk is located directly at the Dachstein Gletscherbahn. The platform at 2,700 metres above sea level offers a panoramic view of the alpine mountain panorama and is one of the most spectacular viewing platforms in the Alps. The Dachstein suspension bridge – the highest suspension bridge in Austria – provides unforgettable memories with a tremendous view over the Alps. The feeling of pure freedom is there for the brave on the "stairway to nowhere", which lets guests "float" over the rocks. In the Dachstein Ice Palace, a mystical world of ice and snow awaits guests deep inside the glacier. The exhibition "Up on the mountains" can currently be admired.
