Dachstein Glacier Cable Car & Skywalk
The Dachstein Glacier is one of Austria's most iconic natural attractions, offering year-round high-alpine experiences. The panoramic Dachstein Glacier Cable Car, with its open-air balcony ('Balkon') for breathtaking views, transports visitors to an altitude of 2,700m. At the top, attractions include the 'Dachstein Skywalk' (a viewing platform offering a dizzying perspective), the 'Stairway to Nowhere', and the 'Ice Palace' carved into the glacier. The glacier also offers summer skiing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing, even in the warmest months. Prices for the return cable car ticket are approx. 40-50 EUR, with discounts for children and 'Schladming-Dachstein Summer Card' holders. Early booking is highly recommended.
