SENSATIONS

As you know, you have a fantastic view of the mountains of Schladming-Dachstein everywhere on the Planai – even from the toilet. At the Sky Toilets at the Märchenwiesenbahn you can enjoy a great view – depending on the season – over lush green mountain meadows or perfectly groomed ski slopes.

The mountain station of the 8-seater Rosskopfbahn cable car at 1,930 metres is a popular meeting point in the ski area and an ideal vantage point with great photo opportunities. Our mascot ‘Zauchi’ is looking forward to a photo with you. You can immortalise yourselves with a ‘love lock’ at the ‘love heart’. The Rosskopf is one of the three Zauchensee peaks of the challenging ‘12 Peaks Trophy’.

The Dachstein Ice Palace takes you into a mystical world of ice, deep inside the glacier. A special highlight is the throne made of ice, where visitors can take a seat and take an unforgettable photo in the fascinating icy landscape.

At the Gamskogel II mountain station at 2,106 metres, you are right in front of the impressively steep start slope of the Zauchensee World Cup course. The mascot ‘Zauchi’ is a popular photo motif, and with the photo point you can capture your holiday memories without anyone being missing from the picture! For lovers, there is a ‘love heart’ where you can immortalise yourself with a ‘love lock’. You will also find the Gamskogel checkpoint for the ‘12 Peaks Trophy’ here.

With the elevator "World Cup Express", which is located directly next to the top station of the Schwarzwandbahn, you go up to the Gamskogel. Here is not only the start of the spectacular World Cup slope, but also a fabulously beautiful vantage point. The highest excursion point in the "Salzburger Sportwelt", which can be reached by lift, is thanks to the World Cup final in 2002, when the downhill course was extended to include the steep starting slope on the Gamskogel. The World Cup Express is usually open in fair weather during the main season (except during race preparation and World Cup races).

Is one peak not high enough for you? Do you want to go even higher? Then come to the "Geisterturm", the viewing platform on the "Geisterberg". At a height of 14 metres, you have a fantastic 360° panoramic view of the ski slopes, including the Devil's Route, and the surrounding mountainous landscape. How does it make you feel looking down from such a height?

Tip: In the immediate vicinity of the viewing platform you will find another photo point where you can pose for a souvenir photo with Gspensti and Spuki, the friendly ghosts of Ghost Mountain.

The name of the region is written in capital letters on a wooden structure on the Stubnerkogel in Bad Gastein. The approximately 3-metre-high lettering not only serves as an eye-catcher and photo opportunity, but also as a place to sit on the mountain. In addition to the magnificent view, you can also capture your mountain experience without taking a selfie.

At the Stubnerkogel in Bad Gastein there is the viewing platform "Talblick" with a magnificent view northwards over Bad Hofgastein. This further point of attraction and place to stay for our guests is located below the transmitter and is also a popular highlight in winter. Whether pedestrian or skier, the Talblick is worth a visit in any case.
