The highlights at the Skywalk Dachstein

Breathtaking viewing platform

The Skywalk is one of the most spectacular viewing platforms in the Alps. It extends far beyond the edge of the steep cliff and allows visitors to enjoy a view of the impressive Alpine panorama. The view stretches from the snow-capped peaks of the Dachstein massif to the distant valleys.

Glass Floor – A Look into the Depths

The glass floor of the platform offers a special experience for the brave: you can look directly at the 250-meter-deep abyss beneath your feet. This unique construction makes you feel as if you are floating in the air - an unforgettable thrill for anyone looking for an adrenaline rush.

Dachstein Glacier Cable Car

Access to the Skywalk is via the Dachstein Glacier Cable Car, which takes visitors to a height of 2,700 meters. The cable car ride itself is an experience that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.

glacier hikes and ice caves

There are numerous opportunities to experience alpine nature up close around the Skywalk. Glacier hikes lead through the icy landscape of the Dachstein massif, and the nearby Dachstein Ice Cave with its fascinating ice formations is another highlight for visitors.

Tips for your visit

To fully enjoy your visit to the Skywalk Dachstein, we recommend arriving early in the morning. At this time, there are usually fewer people and the lighting conditions are ideal for breathtaking photos. Since the platform is weather dependent, you should find out about the cable car's operating times before you arrive.
