The via ferrata is certain to be an exciting challenge for keen rock climbers.

Climb to the highest summit in Upper Austria

This via ferrata is the highlight of a wonderful high-altitude tour that starts from Obertraun and leads over the Simonyhütte to the Dachstein summit.
You start with the Dachstein Krippenstein cable car followed by a hike to the Simonyhütte (approx. 4.5 hours). From there it goes over the glacier to the beginning of the via ferrata. Then in about an hour to the summit of the Dachstein.

Attention: The via ferrata is not difficult, but this is a tour in high alpine terrain and appropriate preparation and alpine knowledge are essential!

Alternative route: Via Ramsau, on the south side of the Dachstein, you can also take the cable car directly to the glacier, from there it is relatively relaxed to the entrance to the via ferrata, a lot of time can be saved here, but not to be underestimated here either.

Experience a 360° panorama tour of the Dachstein Krippenstein…

In case of emergency call the mountain rescue under 140
