Ramsau am Dachstein
Ramsau am Dachstein is a village on a sunny plateau at about 1,100 m, just under the south face of the Dachstein massif, in Styria. It is famous for its cross-country skiing, its views and its rare Protestant tradition in an otherwise Catholic region.
The village is quiet, scattered and scenic. It is a base for the Dachstein glacier, for gentle plateau walks and for the Schladming-Dachstein region.

Historie
Ramsau became a centre of Protestantism in the 16th century, and many farmers kept their faith in secret. The Toleration Patent of 1781 allowed open worship, and the village's Protestant church was built soon after. Cross-country skiing and the Dachstein cable car shaped its modern tourism.
