Mountain hiking in the area around the Dachstein

Hiking vacation in Gosau - when the mountain calls

Hardly any other sport is currently as popular as mountain hiking and mountaineering. After all, it is ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels. It's easy to explain why. Exercise in the fresh mountain air, constant contact with nature and a view that never fails to inspire. Of course, this also applies to Gosau, the pretty mountain village at the foot of the Dachstein with its imposing glacier.

The impressive Dachstein massif is of course a place of longing for many. The Dachstein is undoubtedly one of the most popular hiking tours in the Alps. Here, the most beautiful mountain peaks of the Eastern Alps accompany you at every turn, while the scenic diversity with alpine pastures and mountain lakes tops off the experience. Anyone on a hiking vacation in Gosau has the Dachstein practically under their nose and can choose a different exciting stage every day.
