Hello and Welcome!

We are Dachstein and Salzstein, the mascots of the Holiday Region Dachstein Salzkammergut. We are really looking forward to introducing you to our home and experiencing exciting adventures with you on the mountain, in the lake and around the World Heritage Site. Are you already curious about what there is to discover in the Holiday Region? We have put together the best tips for you on this page. Pack your spirit of discovery and join us on an unforgettable journey and moments that will stay with you.
 

Before we start, we would like to introduce ourselves.

We are Dachstein and Salzstein, the mascots of the Holiday Region Dachstein Salzkammergut and we represent the region. We not only embody the name of the region, but also our landmarks. With the Dachstein on skis and the Salzstein with a hiking backpack, we would also like to draw your attention to the wide range of sporting opportunities that the region offers all year round.

We were created thanks to the JOLLY 2023 drawing competition, which the tourism association launched with JOLLY. We were selected from almost 400 ideas and brought to life from the drawings of Sophie (12 years), Laura Loreen (13 years) and Vivien (10 years).

Now you can buy us as lovingly designed plush figures in the tourist offices in Bad Goisern, Gosau, Hallstatt and Obertraun and take a piece of the Holiday Region home with you.
