When ski touring on the Dachstein, you have several options: from ski tours on groomed runs to off-piste ski tours and the famous Dachstein crossing.

Freeriding on the Dachstein means high-alpine terrain, deep snow, and challenging routes. This requires excellent skiing skills, alpine experience, and careful route planning.

Whether it’s a via ferrata or an alpine climbing route: when climbing on the Dachstein, you’ll find a variety of difficulty levels and routes set against a stunning mountain backdrop.

Are you interested in paragliding on the Dachstein Glacier?
If so, please contact the airfield operator directly: the flight school/alpine school Sky Club Austria GmbH. Due to changes on the Dachstein Glacier and the associated safety risks, no commercial tandem passenger flights are currently offered there. We appreciate your understanding.

There are alternative launch sites available for tandem flights in the Schladming-Dachstein region. Options include the Planai, the Hochwurzen, the Rittisberg, and the Hauser Kaibling. There, too, you can experience the mountain scenery from a bird’s-eye view.
