Dachstein Krippenstein

A company of "Bergbahnen Dachstein Salzkammergut" - #bbds

In summer, the Dachstein Krippenstein in the UNESCO World Heritage region Salzkammergut offers everything your heart desires and promises days full of nature experiences and lasting memories. The number 1 excursion destination in the Salzkammergut enchants the whole family: cave world (Giant Ice Cave, Mammut & Koppenbrüller Cave), viewing platforms (5fingers, World Heritage spiral), attractions such as the Dachstein shark and the wonderful hiking opportunities on the Dachstein Plateau.

In winter, Days of Freedom are program on the Dachstein Krippenstein - everything goes: ski and board, on and off piste, freeride training and snow camps, snowshoeing, ski tours, ice climbing, paragliding. Or maybe you'd rather relax (or party hard) in one of the cozy huts and lodges.

The extraordinary cultural landscape of Hallstatt-Dachstein/Salzkammergut has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. The 281 km2 area is subject to special protection regulations and includes the mountain railways. Source: www.welterbe-salzkammergut.at

Since summer 2024, the Dachstein Krippenstein has been one of the "Besten Österreichischen Sommer-Bergbahnen" and was particularly impressive in the "Panorama & Nature Experience" category. The Dachstein Krippenstein was also honoured in Austria's largest summer cable car test in 2022 and won DOUBLE GOLD and GOLD in the categories "Art & Culture", "Fun & Action", "Clear Mountain Award" and "Operations Manager Trophy".
