Dachstein Glacier Ski Resort Austria
Dachstein Glacier ski area in Salzburgerland Austria provides amazing freeride skiing adventures and limited, high-altitude, glacier-based piste terrain. Situated in a spectacular location between the ski areas of Schladming & Krippenstein, Dachstein Glacier has a multitude of other activities to undertake on the mountain, plus summer cross-country ski trails and the Austrian National Skitour route from the gondola top station all the way past Krippenstein and into Obertraun village.
Anyone thinking of visiting Dachstein Glacier for ski season 23/24 will need to re-consider their plans. A major upgrade of the cable car mountain station (including restaurant) will see the ski area close from the 6th September 2023 to the end of May 2024. During he coming winter, Dachstein Glacier will only open for a few days during the Christmas /New Year period (25th Dec 2023 to 7th Jan 2024) . More information about this European ski resort is coming soon.

Review
The Powderhounds visited Dachstein Glacier on a lovely, sunny Saturday in January 2022, and despite some great snow conditions, unfortunately found the access cable car closed for maintenance! We will try to re-visit some time in the coming years. More information about this European ski resort will come after our visit. Stay tuned for our sparkling repartee, new photos & insights.
