Discover Ramsau Am Dachstein

Ramsau am Dachstein is situated on a sunny high plateau between the Dachstein and the Schladminger Tauern. The landscape combines a strong connection to the mountains with culture, summer trails and winter sports experiences. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can plan their days around whether nature experiences, regional history, family-friendly trails or cross-country skiing should be the main focus.

High plateau between the Dachstein and the Tauern

The location shapes the character of the place without requiring every day of your holiday to look the same. In summer, hikes lead to alpine pastures, while family-friendly themed trails offer other ways to experience the landscape. The hike through the Silberkarklamm gorge passes waterfalls and vertical rock faces and is considered interesting for families. When planning with children, this makes it possible to choose a nature experience in which not only the alpine panorama but also the immediate surroundings along the trail play a role.

Summer experiences and mountain cable car

The Rittisberg cable car, which operates in summer, takes visitors in 10-person gondolas to a mountain station at 1,500 m above sea level. Those wishing to include a cable-car ride in their daily plans will find a specific starting point here for an excursion. Ramsau am Dachstein is also considered a starting point for the Dachstein Glacier Cable Car. When looking for accommodation, you can therefore consider whether you mainly want to use the village as a base for mountain cable-car and hiking experiences or as a starting point for a mix of nature and culture.

Cross-country skiing, night trail and biathlon

In winter, the Ramsau am Dachstein cross-country skiing centre is the main attraction. When snow conditions are good, it has more than 100 km of classic cross-country trails. There is also a floodlit night trail that remains open into the evening. Visitors can also try biathlon in Ramsau am Dachstein. These different options help when deciding whether to look for a holiday apartment for an active winter sports holiday or for a trip with changing daily plans. The condition of good snow cover remains important when planning to use the classic trails.

History, craftsmanship and milling tradition

The “ZEITROAS” museum offers an overview of the municipality’s history in an exhibition space of 300 m². Particular focus is placed on the development of mountaineering and the opening up of the Dachstein region. Lodenwalker Ramsau also bears a distinctive name: The Lodenwalke is described as the oldest Lodenwalke in the world that is still in existence.

A seasonal cultural feature is the Mühlen Advent. It is an annual tradition and begins at the restored Old Mill in Rössing. The route passes places where nine of Ramsau’s total of 64 watermills once stood. Mühlen Advent includes traditional customs, atmospheric music and traditional craftsmanship.

Putting together active days thoughtfully

The climbing area at Sattelberg is also part of the village’s offering. It is regarded as a proven practice area with short approaches and manageable walking times. This makes it possible to combine different focuses when planning a trip: summer hikes to alpine pastures, the Silberkarklamm gorge, culture at the museum or winter cross-country skiing. It is best to choose suitable accommodation according to the pace of holiday you want and the experiences that are most important to your travel group.
