The local mountain of Altaussee

Due to its height and attractiveness, the Dachstein has been a popular destination for mountaineers since the 19th century, after the Grimming was long considered the highest mountain in Styria. The reddish south walls made of Dachstein limestone, around 1 km high, are also famous.

The walk around the lake takes about 90 minutes.

The Loser is a 1837 m high mountain in the municipality of Altaussee on the northern shore of Lake Altaussee. Its distinctive, castle-like summit makes it a landmark of the Ausseerland. The Loser is accessible via the Loser Panorama Road, which was opened in 1972 and leads up to 1600 m above sea level. It is a popular hiking mountain due to its easy accessibility and its excellent view over the Ausseerland, the Totes Gebirge and, above all, the Dachstein with its glaciers. There is a cross on the summit.

A silver fir tree around 1,400 years old was recovered from Lake Altaussee as part of a research project. The tree comes from an underwater forest that has been known since the 1970s. According to those responsible, the recovery of the 1,400 year old fir tree took several weeks. The tree was 18 meters deep and weighs six tons. Project manager Erwin Heine explained that the fire department needed four attempts to recover the tree. Around 100 tree trunks were also in the lake. Wood samples were taken from these, which showed that the trees were the same age.
