Hoher Dachstein

## Ascent

From Obertraun, take the cable car up to Krippenstein.

Then go down W past Gjaid Alm (1750m), and continue W through the flat plateau (lots of little up and downs - but only a few meters each time). Follow the markings, as it is very easy to get lost and fall in a hole (dolines and sinkholes).

Continue W until you're past Traubenkogel, then the route turns to the S.

Close to Simonyhütte, the route splits: turns left (E) to the hut (5 min away), or continues S to the glacier, on the W side of Schöberl.

Once on the glacier, continue S (markings) until you reach the final N face of Hohe Dachstein.

Ski depot at around 2900m, then it is climbing to the summit (cable in places, and steep snow/ice at the end).

## Descent

Either same way, or heading N-NE down the steeper part of the glacier, to Oberer-eissee (2100m) then climbing back 150m to Simonyhütte.

And then either back E to Gjaid Alm, climbing a bit (50m) and skiing along the pistes all the way down, or W to Wiesberghaus and the Tiergarten Descent

Lots of dolines and sinkholes, be very wary of bad visibility, very easy to get lost or worse, fall in a hole.

The height difference does not seem big, but the route is very long due to the ups and downs on the plateau.

The skiing is never technical, without the optional final climb, it is PD- (because of the length). The climbing part makes it PD+/AD-.
