Ski touring
in the World Heritage Region
That perfect feeling of togetherness - the mountain and you. Snow crunching beneath your skis, a glimpse of your destination in the distance, the sense of rhythm in nature and weaving your way through the powder snow – that is ski touring in the Inner Salzkammergut.
Long before there were any ski lifts, we had to reach the mountain summits on skis. Ernest Hemingway was a well known fan of ski touring.
Waving downhill in fresh powder snow, exercise in the great outdoors, stopping off in huts that are enthroned above the slopes away from alpine winter sports. That's probably what makes it so special - the special flair of ski touring in the Salzkammergut.
For early birds and all who want to have the Dachstein Krippenstein for their own, there is the possibility to go up the gondola very early in the morning. A special highlight that you shouldn't miss!
