5 Fingers

The “5fingers“ are the absolute highlight of the newly staged Hiking world on the Dachstein plateau and ranks among the most spectacular viewpoints of the Alps.

The platform horizontally “towers” - just like a hand - above where the mountain cliff drops into a 400m abyss. Five distinct stages, 4x1m, offer dramatic “insights and outlooks”. One stage is made of glass and another “finger” provides a baroque-like frame in order to have specially framed World Heritage photos of Hallstatt taken. The “5fingers” are illuminated until midnight to then be noticed even from distant places.

“The journey is the reward” is the perfect motto for the footpath leading to the platform, as an additional viewpoint awaits on the way from the cable car top station to the Pioneer Cross.

The “worldNATURALheritage” viewpoint, just above the Krippenstein Lodge, shows an outstanding panorama of the two glaciers. The barrier-free path to this platform guarantees access to “high alpine experience” for everyone. Almost all visitors will overcome the convenient footpath to the Pioneer Cross within 20 minutes easily.

The World Heritage-Spiral viewpoint is another new feature situated close to the summit of Krippenstein on 2.100 m. This view platform affords a sensational view of both King Dachstein and the surrounding area. It is furthermore equipped with a recently installed photo point providing the opportunity to capture one’s impressions.
