Sky Walk

Ramsau am Dachstein, Styria

Under your feet: the 250-meter vertically dropping rock face of the Hunerkogel - and you don't have to climb it via a via ferrata. No: It can be experienced by everyone without effort thanks to the unique glass platform, the Dachstein Sky Walk. All around you: an incomparable mountain panorama. Welcome to the Dachstein Sky Walk, the most spectacular viewing platform in the Alps! On cloudless days, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Hohe Tauern and as far as Slovenia and the Czech Republic. Interesting detail: The Dachstein Sky Walk, at 2700 m above sea level, is significantly higher than, for example, the viewing platforms at Niagara Falls or the Iguazú Falls in Brazil. Directly at the mountain station of the Dachstein Gletscherbahn Experience unique views and deep insights. Perhaps with a slightly queasy feeling in your stomach, but after the first steps, this is immediately forgotten, because safety is paramount on the Dachstein. A visit to the Dachstein Sky Walk is absolutely safe. The steel construction, weighing 40 tons, withstands wind speeds of up to 210 km/h, is capable of carrying 8m of snow, and holds space for 150 people. In addition to the viewing platform, a circular path around the mountain station of the Dachstein Gletscherbahn awaits you. This offers you views of the impressive Dachstein south face and the most beautiful peaks of the Alps. Cozy beach chairs also invite you to linger, sunbathe, and have a Jause (snack).
