Ramsau am Dachstein is a high-plateau village in Styria below the Dachstein glacier, quieter and more nature-focused than neighboring Schladming. The Dachstein Skywalk provides a glass viewing platform over a 250-meter drop on the glacier plateau. Cross-country skiing on the plateau is the winter specialty, with over 70km of groomed trails. In summer, glacier hiking and the Dachstein cable car draw visitors seeking altitude without a downhill ski resort atmosphere. Bus connections from Schladming take about 20 minutes. Hotels lean toward wellness and mountain lodge style. Check the official site for current glacier cable car and Skywalk opening times, as they vary significantly by season.

Ramsau am Dachstein
The Dachstein Skywalk puts you on a glass platform hanging over a 250-meter vertical drop on the edge of the glacier plateau. That is the headline attraction, but Ramsau am Dachstein has built a quieter identity as the cross-country skiing alternative to Schladming's downhill operation just down the valley.
