Gosau Glacier, Alpine glacier in Salzkammergut region, Austria
The Gosau Glacier extends across the Dachstein mountain range, featuring ice formations and steep cliffs that reach elevations above 2000 meters in altitude.
The glacier served as a vital water source for local communities since medieval times, shaping the development of settlements in the Gosau Valley.
Local mountain guides maintain climbing routes and teach traditional alpine techniques to visitors who want to explore the glacier's vertical terrain.
The Zwieselalm cable car provides access to the glacier base, where marked paths lead visitors through various climbing and hiking routes.
The Jacob's ladder section presents a 40-meter vertical ascent along fixed metal rungs, offering views across the entire Salzkammergut mountain range.
