Dachstein Peaks & Glaciers

The Dachstein Massif, part of the Northern Limestone Alps, is home to the Hoher Dachstein, the highest peak in Styria and Upper Austria at 2,995 meters. This list features the area's prominent glaciers, including the Schladminger and Edelgrieß, alongside dramatic limestone summits like the Mitterspitz and Scheichenspitze. Modern alpine infrastructure provides access to unique vantage points, such as the glass-bottomed Skywalk and the Stairway to Nothingness, which extends over a 400-meter vertical drop.
