Dachstein Skywalk, Mountain viewing platform in Ramsau am Dachstein, Austria
The Dachstein Skywalk consists of a glass platform extending over a 250-meter vertical rock face at an elevation of 2,700 meters above sea level.
The Dachstein Skywalk emerged from the development of alpine tourism infrastructure in 1969 when the Dachstein Südwandbahn cable car first opened to visitors.
The observation deck represents the Austrian tradition of making mountain experiences accessible while maintaining safety standards through engineering excellence.
Visitors reach the Skywalk via the Dachstein Glacier cable car, and the structure can accommodate 150 people while withstanding winds of 210 kilometers per hour.
The steel platform weighs 40 tons and offers views extending to the Hohe Tauern mountain range, Slovenia, and Czechia on clear weather days.
