With over 300 kilometers of cleared and marked paths, the Ramsau am Dachstein region can be explored through winter hiking. The varied routes lead through snow-covered forests and vast landscapes, always accompanied by views of the Dachstein massif. Numerous huts and inns along the way invite you to warm up and enjoy regional cuisine in between your walks.
Directly from Berggasthof Hunerkogel, the well-groomed winter hiking trail "Skiweg/Skitour Türlwand" leads into the snowy landscape. With a length of nearly seven kilometers and an ascent of around 500 vertical meters, the route is a popular destination for all fitness levels. The hike impresses with views of the white mountain ranges of the Tauern and the striking Dachstein South Faces. During the day, the path is also popular for sledding, with toboggans available for rent directly at Berggasthof Hunerkogel.
The winter hike begins directly at Berggasthof Hunerkogel and initially leads along the ski path towards the Brandalm. The path continues to the panoramic bend at the Dachsteinhaus, which offers a wide view over the Enns Valley. The route back follows the lower alpine path to the Walcheralm. From there, it is a leisurely walk back to the starting point at the Berggasthof. This winter hiking trail offers an ideal combination of gentle exercise and impressive panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
Tip: Keep your camera ready and make sure your battery is fully charged to capture the unique winter landscape and the special atmosphere as a lasting holiday memory.
The hike begins at the mountain station of the Dachstein Glacier cable car and leads across the extensive glacier trail. On this high-alpine route, the "Kolk" at the Dirndl—a massive, wind-sculpted snow ridge—is particularly impressive. The groomed path winds gently uphill toward the Hoher Dachstein as far as the Seethalerhütte. Situated directly at the Dachstein South Face, the hut offers spectacular views and a special atmosphere amidst the eternal ice. For a safe experience on the glacier, staying on the marked trails is an absolute must. This applies without exception, including when taking holiday photos.
