    A short and beautiful 1,5h ski tour (excl. gondola ride). From the Dachstein mountain station on the Hunerkogel via the Gjaidsteinscharte past the Dirndl to the serviced Seethalerhütte. The route leads over the Schladming and Hallstatt glaciers and follows the prepared and marked trail.

    This easy panoramic tour offers impressive views of the Salzkammergut, the Hoher Dachstein and the depths of the Dachstein south face and the Schladminger Tauern.

    The tour is only possible during the operating hours of the Dachstein Glacier Lift.


    Conditions on the glacier
    The Dirndl Tour is located above the tree line. Most of the Dachstein glacier faces north-east or north and is susceptible to rapid changes in the weather. Another major issue is rapidly falling or long-lasting fog, which can cause temperatures to plummet. Please inform yourself well before the tour about the weather development and snow conditions and carry sufficient protective equipment.

    Author’s recommendation

    The alpine emergency number in Austria is 140 (Europe 112).

    If you have no network reception, please restart your phone. However, before you enter your PIN code for the SIM card, dial the emergency number. You can also make the emergency call in other networks.

    Tips and suggestions

    In Schladming and in Ramsau/Dachstein you will of course find many providers who will support you at the start of your ski touring career and teach you the right ascent and descent technique, or who will take over your tour planning for more demanding companies and guide you safely through the high alpine terrain.

    For more detailed information, please contact a local mountain guide: Mountain and hiking guides | Schladming-Dachstein

    Roadbook

    Descent from the Dachstein mountain station to below the Dirndl via the groomed and marked trail. Ski up and follow the trail in a long left-hand bend past the shoulder ascent - which leads to the Dachstein summit - to the Seethalerhütte. The hut, which was significantly redesigned in 2018, is located between the Dirndl and the Hoher Dachstein directly on the south face of the Dachstein. Return as outward route.

    Please note that you are in high alpine terrain. Inform yourself well about the weather and snow situation and take the necessary protective equipment with you. Please do not deviate from the route due to the numerous crevasses.

    Equipment

    Clothing and protective equipment
    Make sure you are prepared for rapid changes in the weather and increased UV exposure in high alpine terrain. A wind and water-repellent jacket, hood and moisture-resistant gloves are essential. Sun protection (eyes, skin and lips) is also very important.

    Safety equipment
    A modern avalanche transceiver, a metal avalanche shovel and a probe are part of the basic equipment for every ski tour and freeride descent that takes you off the secured slopes and into the open ski area. This triumvirate of avalanche transceiver/shovel/probe not only helps you to be found quickly in the event of an avalanche burial, but above all to be able to help any companions or other buried victims quickly.

    The smartphone is with you anyway. We generally recommend installing a GPS app and familiarizing yourself with how to use it. Network coverage is generally good on the Dachstein. A small first aid kit with a multitool should also always be carried.

    On many tours, it is advisable to carry a glacier harness and via ferrata set, crampons, ice axe and a short rope so that you can react quickly to snow conditions. The exact equipment for each tour can be found in the individual route descriptions.
