Past the Almbodenkick football ground, it‘s on to the Bamhittl tree house via an adventure trail. A climbing trail, information on the geology of the

region and plenty of opportunities for rest and

relaxation complete the range of offers close to the cable car middle station.

In the restaurant Schönbergalm, you can recharge your batteries.


“Gralsburg”, “Parsivaldom” and “King Arthur’s

Cathedral”: behind all these fairytale names lies

fascinating formations of ice and stone.

Accompanied by experienced cave guides, you can explore the magical underground world of Dach-stein. The spectacular ice sculptures, breathtaking

Ice CaveA magical world of ice


lighting effects and unique art installations will fascinate you.

It’s not just nature lovers who will be impressed by the Ice cave – music fans will too. Every year in August, the Parsivaldom will change into a unique concert hall. As part of the Musical Ice

concerts, you have the opportunity to experience crystal-clear sounds by international artists in a very special atmosphere.


One of the largest karst caves in the world im-

presses with its size, variety of shapes and spec-

tacular artistic installations.

Almost 70 km of the cave labyrinth has been ex-plored, so where else could you get a better impres-sion of the wide range of shapes of the cave world

plays of light and shadows and a laser installa-

tion add special effects.

At our trekking tours you can experience the fan-tastic underground world. Grab your overalls, head torch and helmet and explore the “Verfal lene

Burg” or the inner of the mountain. An exciting ad-venture is guaranteed!


Where a spectacular cave stream plunges into the

Koppentraun river, the latest of the three Dach-

stein caves – the Koppenbrüller cave is located.

Especially during snowmelt and heavy rainfalls you can observe a unique natural spectacle here, which you can hike through in complete safety on one

of our guided tours. The water crashes its way through the mountain – no wonder that there are so many myths surrounding this cave. You can explore this “wild” side of the cave in one of the trekking

tours for the whole family. Take the child-friendly short adventure tour or the challenging trekking

tour along the original waterways, you‘ll feel like a real explorer!


A wonderful mountain plateau and plenty of

variety: Here at the Dachstein Krippenstein you‘ll

find everything a hiker, climber or leisure tourist

could want.
