Summits of Austria –
including the Dachstein Glacier
Enjoy some spectacular photo opportunities and magnificent views while visiting some of Austria’s magnificent Alpine peaks.
Suggested Programme
Arrival and dinner at your hotel.
Travel to Bischofshofen, visit the spectacular Nordic ski Jump or take a walk in the town and enjoy a coffee and cake.
Travel to Ramsau where you join the cable car for a ride to the summit of the Dachstein Glacier. For the adventurous among you we recommend a ride on top of the cable car.
At the top enjoy lunch, have a drink and visit the Dachstein Ice Palace and the glacier crevice as well as the hanging bridge and the sky walk.
Enjoy a visit to the lakeside town of Zell am See for a stroll along the promenade or journey on the Pinzgau narrow gauge railway which runs between Zell am See and Krimml.
Also worth a visit is the spectacular Hohenwerfen Fortress where visitors have a high-altitude encounter with the past. The castle dates back over 900 years and the feathered hunters of the province’s falconry, the dashing weaponry, the museum and the castle’s dark corners, all enhance your visit.
Journey along the historical Grossglocker High Alpine Road up Austria’s highest mountain (3.798 m) to its glacier, the Pasterze. Your journey will take you past a unique world of mountains, blossoming alpine meadows, fragrant forests and massive cliffs.
Along the route, you can find many highlights such as the “Edelweißspitze”, the highest point on the road or the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe Visitors’ centre. On arrival at the visitors centre, you have a spectacular view of the Grossglockner summit and the glacier below. Do not forget to keep your eyes open for the local wildlife – the marmots, and do not forget your camera!
Depart for your trip home after breakfast.
