High Dachstein

Highlight • Summit

In good weather very crowded. The best thing is when you come across the Simonyhütte and before the first gondola at the entrance. If there is not much going on, abseiling from the summit is recommended.

Hunerkogel

Highlight • Summit

Indescribable view of the Dachstein even to the Czech Republic. The tour itself is very demanding and please do only with proper footwear. And you should be free from giddiness and bring alpine experience.
