What makes this resort different

Mountain character

Dachstein Gletscher is best understood as a family progression base: easier terrain, moderate gradients and usable access make progression the strongest structural story.

50% blue pistes

25% black pistes

The trade-off

Progression-focused trips where easier and moderate terrain form a large part of the usable mountain.

Advanced skiers seeking a strongly technical profile may find the terrain mix less distinctive.
