Arrival by car

From the west: Tauern Autobahn (A10) to Knoten Ennstal - turnoff direction Graz/Schladming - stay on the Ennstal-Bundesstraße (B320) for approx. 20 km until Schladming - take the turnoff for Ramsau - via the Dachsteinstraße to the Dachstein Gondola Bottom Station

From the north: Pyhrn Autobahn (A 9) direction Liezen - take the Ennstal-Bundesstraße (B320) to Schladming - turnoff Ramsau - via the Dachsteinstraße to the Dachstein Gondola Bottom Station

The "Große Mitterstein" tour starts at the Dachstein mountain station. As the first section of the tour is downhill, please do not put on your touring skis yet. The route leads down a secured and groomed descent (along the former ski slope) to the old valley station of the Mitterstein chairlift (out of service). Once there, the touring skis are skinned up and from now on the route leads uphill on a marked ascent track next to the prepared descent. If you have already crossed the Ramsau glacier, you can decide at the crossroads whether you want to turn left back to the Dachstein mountain station or turn right and take the Dirndl tour to the Seethalerhütte.

Take line 960 to the Dachstein Türlwandhütte stop.

Even though there are parking spaces at the Dachstein Gondola Bottom Station, it is recommended that you take the public bus from Schladming or Ramsau to use the gondola.
