Dachstein glacier, Glacier complex in Ramsau am Dachstein, Austria.
The Dachstein glacier stretches across the Austrian Alps at 2,700 meters elevation, featuring natural ice formations and mountain peaks visible from panoramic gondolas.
The 1969 installation of the Dachstein glacier gondola transformed this natural wonder into a major Austrian destination, leading to continuous infrastructure developments.
The glacier restaurant, positioned on the border between Styria and Upper Austria, serves regional specialties while offering views of the surrounding Alpine landscapes.
Visitors can access the glacier through the Planai bus fleet and experience attractions including the Ice Palace, suspension bridge, and Sky Walk viewing platform.
The mountain station generates 80 percent of its energy needs through an innovative photovoltaic glass façade, demonstrating environmental responsibility in Alpine tourism.
