Enjoy an impressive boat trip on Lake Hallstatt.

Shipping by tradition

Lake Hallstatt connects the Dachstein communities of Hallstatt, Obertraun, Bad Goisern and Gosau, and shipping has always played an important role as a mode of transport. But it is also an event for connoisseurs, because only from the lake do you have a unique view of the World Heritage Site and the surrounding mountains of the Holiday Region Dachstein Salzkammergut.

Navigation on Lake Hallstatt since 1862

As the train station in Hallstatt is on the other side of the lake, there is a scheduled boat service from Hallstatt train station to Hallstatt Markt. The liner "Stephanie" sails regularly to the trains all year round. The Hallstatt-Markt line to the railroad station has existed since 1881 and is still the only boat connection on an Austrian lake that is also maintained during the winter months.

Hallstättersee Schifffahrt Hemetsberger GmbH, owned by the Hemetsberger family since the fall of 1967, consists of a fleet of four ships.

Various round trips are offered:

  • Boat tours via Obertraun - duration approx. 50 minutes (panorama tour)
  • Boat tours via Steeg and Untersee - duration approx. 80 minutes (21.07. to 17.08.2025)
  • Boat transfer to Hallstatt train station (or to the Ostuferwanderweg) all year round
  • Special trips possible all year round by prior arrangement
  • In winter there are also punch trips on the heated ship "Goisern".

Experience a 360° panoramic tour across Lake Hallstatt...

Our boat Stefanie from the station to the center runs regularly according to the timetable!

Round trips southern part of the lake:
from approx. end of May to approx. mid-October
