Dachstein Krippenstein: Are you ready?
For 9 kilometers of the finest deep snow? For the longest descent in Upper Austria?


Dachstein Krippenstein is the hotspot of the freeriding scene in the Salzkammergut. And beyond runs and cliff drops, the Krippenstein impresses with an exciting outdoor program - far away from the mainstream.


Nine kilometers of off-piste options and the guaranteed snow of the Dachstein region will whet your appetite for powder snow and fat boards. Whether ski or board, the numerous variants of the Dachstein Krippenstein inspire every powder freak! Schönberg, Imisl and Eisgrube offer tough rocky ridges, varied slopes and selective forest trails, 1500 vertical meters per ride demand stamina and concentration.

Days of freedom are the order of the day at Arena Dachstein Krippenstein - simply anything goes: ski and board, on and off piste, freeride training and snow camps, snowshoeing, ski tours, ice climbing, paragliding. Or perhaps you prefer to relax on one of the sun terraces or party?

And here is the offer:
> 30 kilometers of off-piste variants
> the longest downhill run in Upper Austria with 9 kilometers
> signposted snowshoe trails to the World Heritage Spiral, 5fingers, Dachstein Shark
> Eldorado of ski touring options on the Dachstein
> Krippenstein Gjaidalm cross-country ski trail
> Hundreds of square kilometers of high alpine terrain to let off steam
> Relaxed huts and lodges to unwind in

New in winter:

  • Dachstein Krippenstein mountain restaurant

  • Modern event room with panoramic terrace

  • Ski tour Heilbronner Runde

  • Special snowshoe offers, guided snowshoe tours and mountain safety camps offer a relaxed way to get to know the mountain safely and prepare beginners for the demands of the high mountains.

  • Guided snowshoe hike: Info & registration: www.bergwandern.co.at
