Winter hiking in Ramsau am Dachstein
Hiking in winter at the foot of the Dachstein
With the first snowflakes that remain on the meadows, we look forward to relaxing winter hiking in Ramsau am Dachstein.. Everyone enjoys the wonderful surroundings in the glittering winter dress and the relaxing time in nature. The beautiful sunny plateau at 1100 – 1300 m above sea level is ideal due to the open landscape. It provides a perfect base for winter hiking for families, walkers and nature lovers.
Right in front of the Hotel Matschner, in Ramsau Ort, several circular trails start. In contrast to summer, the wide Ramsau winter hiking trails are mostly flat and run parallel to the cross-country ski trails in open and sunny terrain. This is how you get to know the beautiful holiday region at the foot of the mighty Dachstein from a completely different perspective.
Around 50 km are groomed exclusively for winter hikers and horse-drawn sleigh rides. A horse-drawn sleigh ride around the Kulmberg or to the Halseralm, the best flambéed Kaiserschmarrn in the world, should definitely be part of the holiday program. Many farms with cozy parlors, rustic huts and sunny terraces invite you to stop off.

- Panoramatour – distance: 16 km – duration 4 h walking time
- Skitrail Türlwand – distance: 7 km – duration 2:30 h walking time
