This selection of
suggested ski tours is just one of the many which are available in the extensive
Dachstein Region. Careful planning and preparation, in advance of your tour, is absolutely essential.
Safety Precautions:
You can, of course, complete any of the tours on your own. However, it is essential to hire the services of a
mountain guide if you are inexperienced or you have no knowledge of the area (see suggestions below). Although it is easy to reach the
Dachstein plateau by Dachstein Krippenstein cable car, please do not forget that you are in a high alpine region. Please check the
Weather Forecast. Tours should only be attempted when there is good visibility. It is essential to take
emergency equipment with you: navigation system, avalanche alarm, shovel, first aid kit and a mobile telephone. Please use
ski tour equipment, and we would advise you to take extra warm clothing on most of the tours. The
traverse of the Dachstein can be completed using normal
ski equipment or commercial snowboards.
