Skywalk Dachstein
About
The Dachstein Skywalk is a spectacular viewing platform perched 2,700 metres above sea level on the Hunerkogel rockface, offering panoramic views of the Austrian Alps and the surrounding glacier landscape. Visitors reach the Skywalk in about ten minutes by the Dachstein Panorama Gondola, where they can stroll along a circular trail and enjoy the same expansive vista one would experience from the cliff edge. The Skywalk is part of a larger network of attractions at the Dachstein Glacier, including the suspension bridge, the Stairway to Nothingness, and the Ice Palace, all of which provide unique, memorable experiences for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. The attraction operates daily from 8:00 am to 4:20 pm (closed every Tuesday from 13 January onward) during the current season, and offers a safe and accessible route for visitors of all ages. Whether you come for the dramatic scenery, the thrilling walk above a sheer cliff, or to combine a visit with a hot meal in the nearby glass‑roofed Glacier Restaurant, the Dachstein Skywalk is a must‑see highlight for travelers seeking unforgettable alpine views.
