On skis up the mountain
The Salzkammergut region offers mountains full of possibilities - from easy beginner tours to challenging routes for experienced alpinists. No matter how good your condition is, one thing is sure to take your breath away: our unique mountain panorama. On the mountain, the right preparation is the be-all and end-all. From the right equipment with avalanche transceiver, shovel, avalanche probe, helmet and airbag system to checking the current weather and snow situation as well as the wildlife rest zones, there are all kinds of things to consider. If these points are taken into account, nothing stands in the way of an unforgettable ski tour. And for all those who want to have the landscape for themselves, there are the early ascents to the Krippenstein in Obertraun - because the early bird catches the worm - right?Ski tours on the Dachstein Plateau
Getting up early is worthwhile for the big winter adventure!
Untouched landscape, peace and quiet away from the ski slopes and snow-covered slopes with powder snow and firn. On a ski tour on the Dachstein plateau in Obertraun in the Salzkammergut you can enjoy unique nature experiences on sporting adventures. The operators of the "Dachstein Krippenstei" cable car in Obertraun are once again making a heart for ski tourers this winter with the so-called "early trips to the mountain".
Early ski tourer ride
The Dachstein Krippenstein is the ideal starting point for numerous tours into the Dachstein massif: Whether from the Krippenstein the classic crossing route over the "Rumpler" to the Dachstein Glacier (lifts on the glacier not open) with the 11 km long descent to Obertraun or a half-day tour to the Zwölferkogel and the Wiesberghaus.
Always from Friday to Sunday
For early ski tourers, snowshoe hikers and hut sitters, there will be the popular ski tourer mountain railway ride at 7.30 hrs. in the morning from 14.02.2025 every weekend (Friday, Saturday + Sunday) until the end of the season
