Dachstein & Salzkammergut: Excursions for Your Summer Vacation
A summer vacation in the Salzkammergut—that means carefree days when the only difficult decision is choosing among all the enticing destinations. Just a little over a 20-minute drive from the Dachsteinkönig - Familux Resort lies the enchanting town of Hallstatt on Lake Hallstatt. Despite the crowds, the town is well worth a visit, as are the Salzwelten, which are located in the mountains high above the lake. St. Wolfgang on Lake Wolfgang and Bad Ischl, which still exudes imperial charm, are hardly any less picturesque.
A trip up the Dachstein is just as appealing. There are several ways to do this: take the Gosaukammbahn to 1,479 m above sea level—an ideal starting point for hikes—take the Dachstein Cable Car from Obertraun up to 2,000 m to the “5fingers,” or take the Dachstein-Südwandbahn from Ramsau up to 2,700 m, just below the summit.
