Description
Nestled at the foot of the 2,900-meter-high Dachstein glacier, Ramsau is the perfect starting point for families looking to hike, bike, climb mountains, or simply relax in the Alps. The itinerary is completely open, we schedule the ideal program according to the group’s interest.
An example of a perfect day
We had breakfast with a view of the south face of the Dachstein, then set off toward the glacier. We hop into the cabin, leaving behind the ski slopes, evergreen pines, and the warmth of summer. Reaching the glacier, we cross a suspension bridge, where we’re treated to stunning 360-degree views of Austria’s tallest peaks. We climb the “Stairway to Nowhere,” which leads to a glass-floored lookout, giving the kids a chance to test their courage with a 400-meter drop yawning beneath their feet.
After coming down from the glacier, we hike back home from the valley, stopping along the way at the best mountain huts for a homemade cheese platter or a slice of apple strudel.
In the evenings, we grill as the sun sets, accompanied by unfiltered Austrian craft beers, while the kids eagerly help around the fire. For those who enjoy a bit of competition, there’s foosball, or you can just relax as we plan the next day. Options include an e-bike tour through hills and valleys or even a via ferrata climb. Don’t worry if it sounds intimidating at first—beginners can also climb up the mountain on fixed iron cables, ladders, ropes, and other aids. There are plenty of beginner-friendly e-biking routes, too. The views and experience make it all absolutely worthwhile.
It started as a biathlon court, but ended up as a longboarder paradise
The summer cross-country ski training track built in the nearby forest is one of the most unique longboarding terrains in the world. It’s a traffic-free, mirror-smooth network of roads with banked turns, slopes, and hills, all winding through towering pine trees. Older kids can try out longboarding, while the smaller ones have the perfect terrain for balance bikes or scooters. Just a few minutes from the house, you can take a swim in the lake, play beach volleyball on the shore, and let little kids splash in the shallow water or enjoy the playground. There’s a summer toboggan and adventure park nearby, and advanced bikers can check out the Schladming bike park.
