Dachstein West ski region in Austria

High alpine panorama and family-friendly pistes

Over the years, an extraordinaire top ski area has developed west of the Dachstein around the towns of Gosau, Russbach and Annaberg. The unique, impressive Dachstein panorama, well-groomed family-friendly pistes, snowshoe trail, touring ski routes, modern lift and gentle access to tourism are what distinguish us.
