# Ski touring in Bad Goisern, Gosau and Obertraun

**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.**

The danger of avalanches is underestimated by many ski tourers.

Inform yourself before the tour about the current weather & snow situation on the mountains!

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!
