The morning makes the ski day: early rides for ski tourers on Mount Krippenstein
On skis up the mountain
The Salzkammergut region offers mountains full of possibilities - from easy beginner tours to challenging routes for experienced alpinists. No matter how good your condition is, one thing is sure to take your breath away: our unique mountain panorama. On the mountain, the right preparation is the be-all and end-all. From the right equipment with avalanche transceiver, shovel, avalanche probe, helmet and airbag system to checking the current weather and snow situation as well as the wildlife rest zones, there are all kinds of things to consider. If these points are taken into account, nothing stands in the way of an unforgettable ski tour. And for all those who want to have the landscape for themselves, there are the early ascents to the Krippenstein in Obertraun - because the early bird catches the worm - right?Ski tours on the Dachstein Plateau
