Mountain experience Dachstein Krippenstein

The Dachstein Krippenstein cable car takes you in a panoramic gondola to the fascinating Dachstein Giant Ice Cave and the enormous Mammoth Cave or further over the Krippenstein to the Dachstein plateau. The 5fingers viewing platform offers a fantastic view. A little higher still is the World Heritage Spiral, from where you can overlook the mountains of the Holiday Region Dachstein Salzkammergut.
