Krippenstein
cable car and
straight on to
nature in
Schönbergalm.
The charming location of the Schönbergalm
nature park next to the middle station of the
Dachstein Krippenstein cable car makes this
the ideal place to observe, explore and relax.
A cave museum takes children on a voyage of
discovery through the Mutmamhöhle or the bad
weather station where you can explore the labyrinth
of caves from the viewpoint of a cave explorer.
Past the Almbodenkick football ground, it’s on to
the Bamhittl tree house via an adventure trail from
where you can enjoy magnificent views of the meadows. A climbing trail, information on the geology of
the region and plenty of opportunities to stop and
relax complete the range of offers close to the
cable car middle station.
Here you can set your soul free, recharge your
batteries in the restaurant and look forward to
exploring the Eishöhle and the Mammuthöhle!
‘Gralsburg’.
‘King Arthur’s Cathedral’.
Eishöhle,
a magical
world of ice.
Behind all of the fairytale names lies a
fascinating world of ice and stone which can be
admired at close hand when visiting the Eishöhle.
Accompanied by experienced cave guides, you can
get to know this magical underground world of
Dachstein. The spectacular ice sculptures, breathtaking light effects and unique art installations are
sure to captivate you.
It’s not just nature lovers who will be impressed
with the giant ice cave – culture enthusiasts will also
fall in love with the endless world of ice: every year
in August the Parsivaldom is transformed into a
unique concert hall. Give your ears a special treat
and attend one of the musical ice concerts –
goose bumps included!
Gigantic cave
passageways
and impressive
rock cathedrals:
Mammuthöhle.
A superlative
labyrinth of caves.
The Mammuthöhle, one of the world’s biggest karst
caves, is characterised by its vast size, wide range
of formations and impressive artistic installations.
70 km of the labyrinth of caves have been explored
– so where else could you gain a better impression
of the wide range of shapes and forms present in an
underground cave world? Our tours will take you along
gigantic cave passageways where you can learn how
they were formed. Interplays of light and shadows
and a laser installation add special effects.
For those who fancy walking in the footsteps of
the cave explorers, the Mammuthöhle cave is just
the place. Different trekking tours are available to
enable you to submerse yourself in this fascinating
underground world. So grab your overall, head torch,
helmet and set off to explore Die verfallene Burg.
With narrow passageways, climbing sections and
plenty of adrenaline: an exciting experience
away from the tourist trail is guaranteed!
The crashing
water carves
out its path.
The Koppenbrüllerhöhle.
The most recent of the three Dachstein caves –
the Koppenbrüllerhöhle – is located at the point
where an impressive cave stream falls down to
join the Koppentraun river.
A unique display of nature can be seen here when the
snow begins to melt and after extensive rainfall. This
display can be observed without any danger during
one of our tours.
The water crashes its way through the
mountain – no wonder that there are so many
myths surrounding this cave!
You can explore the ‘wild’ side of the cave in one
of the trekking tours for all the family.
Whether you opt for a child-friendly short
adventure tour or a challenging trekking tour
along the original water channels, you are sure
to feel like a genuine explorer!
Mountains as far
as the eye can see:
Krippenstein.
More than
just walking.
A magnificent mountain plateau and plenty of
variety: here on the Krippenstein you will find
everything a hiker, mountain climber or leisure
tourist could want.
Whether you want to relax on the Welterbespirale
viewing platform, experience an adrenaline rush
on the 5fingers platform, use the new fotopoint
Dachstein Shark or enjoy a comfortable walk –
there is something for everyone here.
The Dachstein Krippenstein cable car will transport
you up to approx. 2,000 m, enabling you to conquer
the mountain with no effort at all.
There is also disabled access:
The WeltNATURerbe viewing platform is wheelchair
accessible to ensure that everyone can enjoy the
unique Dachstein panorama at close hand.
400 meters

5fingers.
Adrenaline &
relaxation.
Not for the faint-hearted!
The 5fingers viewing platform offers
a high level adrenaline rush!
You can put your fear of heights to the test
along the five differently designed platforms
and enjoy unique views of Hallstatt, the
Hallstätter See and the Salzkammergut.
The approx. 8 meter long Dachstein Shark is
the latest attraction on the Heilbronner Rundwanderweg. The popular photo point can be reached
in about 30 minutes walking distance and provides
visitors with a glimpse into the pre-historic past
of the Dachstein Massif.
The Welterbespirale platform on the peak of the
Krippenstein is the ideal place to relax, learn and enjoy
yourself. Here you can learn lots of interesting things
about the various Welterbe sites, create a memory
of the day at the Fotopoint and set your soul free on
one of the relaxation couches.
Heilbronner Rundwanderweg
The Heilbronner Rundwanderweg is particularly
suited to families. Gentle climbs and unbelievable
views of the Hallstätter Glacier accompany this
family-friendly walking tour. Information panels,
fossils and an extensive network of footpaths make
an excursion from the mountain station to the
Gjaidalm hut both educational and enjoyable for
young and old.

exercise or walking:
Sport on

that it is a great destination all year round!
