The Dachstein Krippenstein is a true adventure mountain that makes every wish come true. Nature lovers seeking peace and quiet as well as adrenalin junkies will find what they are looking for.



A mountain for all occasions!

The Dachstein Krippenstein in Obertraun leaves nothing to be desired. You can easily reach the 2,100 m high Dachstein Krippenstein with the Bergbahnen Dachstein Krippenstein cable car. You will be impressed by the beautiful karst landscape as you ascend.

Leisurely hikes to the excursion destinations

At the mountain station , the Welterbeblick viewing platform awaits you with a fantastic view of the Dachstein. The Heilbronn Chapel and the World Heritage Spiral are just a few minutes' walk away. Wonderful views await you here too and invite you to linger.

Do you want to enjoy these views - but also need a bit of action? Then hike to the "5fingers" viewing platform! Stand 400 meters above the abyss on the five differently designed footbridges. This adrenaline rush and the unique landscape views are unforgettable. A photo as proof of your head for heights is of course a must.

The newest photo point Dachstein-Hai , which is particularly popular with children, is located directly on the family-friendly Heilbronn circular hiking trail. The circular hiking trail takes you through the karst landscape past sinkholes and on to the Heilbronn Cross. This cross commemorates the Dachstein tragedy in 1954 in which 13 people lost their lives.

After another hike, you reach the Gjaid Alm. A cozy sun terrace invites you to take a break. The 3rd section of the Dachstein Krippenstein cable car takes you back to the mountain station.
