Why it is worth making holidays in Gosau at Dachstein

Everywhere you look when you reach the Gosau valley, there are picture-perfect little houses arranged on the gentle slopes, little churches and inviting inns and hotels. The views will take you back to your childhood days, and will make you want to set off to explore and breathe in the fresh country air. Besides, you will soon discover that there are many other charms to this area.  A visit to Gosau is not complete without a visit to a high mountain pasture or taking in the views of the Lake Gosau and the Upper Lake Gosau just beneath the Dachstein Glacier.

Gosau is a long valley at the base of the Dachstein. This World Heritage Community stretches along the Gosau river and consists of the front Gosau valley (Vordertal), middle Gosau valley (Mittertal) and rear Gosau valley ( Hintertal) communities. The Gosaukamm mountain range is the crown at the end of the valley. There is no better place to visit when you want to be close to the mountains. From Gosau, visitors can access the Zwieselalm with its picturesque wooden mountain huts by cable car.  In winter there are two main lift installations from the valley making Gosau a paradise for skiing and other winter sports.  

 

There is one thing for sure: in summer and in winter, your natural surroundings in Gosau am Dachstein will fill you with energy. In summer your surroundings are lush and green, in winter crisp and colourful, and in winter the area looks magical covered in deep snow.
