The Dachstein mountain range is the eastern most range of the Alps reaching a height of almost 3,000 metres. The numerous hiking routes and climbing trails that lead you through stunning mountain pastures and impressive peaks are considered some of the most beautiful in the Salzkammergut Lake District.
The valley station of the Dachstein cable car is reached from Ebner's Waldhof in around an hour. This is the starting point for exciting hiking tours of the Krippenstein Mountain or "Stoa" as it is known to by the locals.
