The Dachstein Krippenstein is a true adventure mountain that makes every wish come true. Nature lovers seeking peace and quiet as well as adrenalin junkies will find what they are looking for.



A mountain for all occasions!

The Dachstein Krippenstein in Obertraun leaves nothing to be desired. You can easily reach the 2,100 metre-high Dachstein Krippenstein with the Dachstein Krippenstein cable car lift. The beautiful karst landscape will impress you as soon as you ascend.

Cozy hikes to the excursion destinations

At the mountain station, the viewing platform Welterbeblick with a fantastic view of the Dachstein. Just a few minutes' walk further on, you will reach the Heilbronn Chapel and the World Heritage Spiral. Wonderful views also await you here and invite you to linger 

You want to enjoy these views - but also need a little action? Then hike to the viewing platform "5fingers"! Stand 400 metres above the abyss on the five differently designed walkways. This adrenaline rush and the unique landscape views will remain unforgettable. A photo as proof of your head for heights is of course a must.

The latest photopoint Dachstein-Hai is located directly at the family-friendly Heilbronner Rundwanderweg. The circular hiking trail takes you through the karst landscape past sinkholes and on to the Heilbronner Kreuz. This cross commemorates the Dachstein tragedy in 1954, in which 13 people lost their lives.

After another walk, you will reach the Gjaid Alm. A cosy sun terrace invites you to take a break. Take the 3rd section of the Dachstein Krippenstein cable car back to the mountain station.
