The Dachstein Krippenstein Cable Car is opened almost all year round and takes you in three stages to very different sites of natural beauty. Stage 1 brings you to the Schönbergalm, from where you can reach the gigantic Mammoth caveand Dachstein Giant Ice Caves. Freezing Temperatures prevail here all year round, so a guided tour on a hot summer day is a good way to cool down. From the second station, the Krippenstein High Plateau, you can hike, take in the stunning views or simply take a deep breath in summer and in winter. The 5fingers viewing platform is spectacular and the trail to theWorld Heritage Spiraland theDachstein Shark is surrounded by unspoilt nature. In winter, the ski resort is not far away, and theDachstein Krippenstein Freesports Arena and the Dachstein West family ski resort are yours to choose from.

Inner strength from the Lake Koopenwinkl

An exceptional location said to have magical powers, under natural and European protection, is the Lake Koppenwinkl. Generally speaking, everything that begins with the word "Koppen" is expected to be beautiful: eg the theme trail along the valley from Obertraun to the Koppenbrüller Cave via the Lake Koopenwinkl and the Koppenwinklalm.

Be sure to look out for current events, such as concerts on the lakeside stage in the lakeside bathing area, folk events or sporting events. As e have said before,  the people of  Obertraun are joyful people ...
