Aktueller Status Klettersteige Dachstein-Gipfel since 01.05.2026 This via ferrata is a great and unique experience for many climbing enthusiasts. Summit assault on the highest mountain in Upper Austria ------------------------------------------------------- This via ferrata is the highlight of a wonderful high-altitude tour that starts in Obertraun and leads via 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, you cross the glacier to the start of the via ferrata. Then in about an hour to the summit of the Dachstein. Please note: Although the via ferrata is not difficult, this is a tour in high alpine terrain and appropriate preparation and alpine skills 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 a relatively relaxed walk to the start of the via ferrata, which can save you a lot of time, but should not be underestimated.
