Nature and adventure trail

The Sattelberg in Ramsau am Dachstein is THE mountain for children. The first nature and adventure trail in Austria is great for children, parents and grandparents. The Zwergerl-Bauernhof next to Sattelberghütte (with information and game boards especially for small children) is a fantastic place for children to play.

As well as its large playhouse and the Kleine Ramasuer Wasserwelt (the Small Ramsau Waterworld), the Österreichisches Wandergütesiegel (Austrian hiking seal of quality) nature and adventure trail also offers three via ferrata for children and young people. Part of the trail is also suitable for prams.

The starting point of the nature and adventure trail is at the foot of the Sattelberg, around 150m from Concordia guesthouse. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from Ramsau Kulm to the starting point of the circular three-hour trail. From station 1 to 3, the trail leads through hilly and flat forests. It then heads up Sattelberg to a flat area between stations 5 and 6, which is perfect for resting in before the hike up to station 7, the Sattelberggipfel.

Walking time: approx. 70 minutes

At the top, you can see the path winding through the forest to station 11. The trail continues along the edge of the forest, through clearings and high grass to the final station, number 14.

More information

Arriving from the west:From the west you can take the Munich-Salzburg motorway, continuing on the Tauern motorway (A 10) until the Ennstal junction. From here take the Ennstal A-road (the B 320) for around 30 km into the Schladming-Dachstein region, then take the Ramsau am Dachstein turn-off.

Arriving from the north:From the south-east take the Pyhrnautobahn motorway (A 9) to the Liezen junction and then the Ennstal A-road (B 320) into the Schladming-Dachstein region. Then take the Ramsau am Dachstein turn-off.

It starts at the starting point of the Natur- und Umwelterlebnispfad at Obere Leiten. It is located at the foot of the Sattelberg, about 150 m east of the Pension Concordia and can be reached from Ramsau Kulm in about 20 minutes on foot. The circular route takes you over the Sattelberg summit in about 3 hours. From stations 1 to 3 you pass alternately over hilly and flat forest terrain with several clearings. From station 3 you hike uphill, along the upper part of the northern flank of the Sattelberg. But don't worry, via stations 5 to 6 you can gather your strength again on the flat terrain in order to be fit for the climb to number 7, the Sattelberg summit. In no more than 70 minutes of walking time you can walk here along a path full of views and adventure, past berries, flowers, rock towers, bizarre rock towers and much more.

Once you reach the top, you can already see the serpentine path that winds through the forest to station 11. From there, the path continues along the edge of the forest over tree roots, clearings and tall grass to station 14. Slightly rising forest terrain and a level run-off finally end KALI's exciting circular trail.
During the holiday periods of July and August, the Kali Express takes you from the Sattelberghütte back to the starting point of the hike or to the Old Mill. This is also where you will find the entrance to the Kali children's via ferrata and the Kala and Kalo youth via ferratas.
