Dachstein Five Fingers Skywalk

About this spectacle

The Five Fingers Skywalk on the Dachstein plateau delivers one of Austria's most dramatic panoramic experiences. Five steel viewing platforms jut out over the southern wall of the Dachstein massif like outstretched fingers, each offering an unobstructed view into the valley roughly 400 metres below and across the Salzkammergut lake district. One platform features a glass floor, allowing visitors to look straight down through their feet to the void beneath. The air at this elevation is crisp and often carries the scent of ice from nearby glaciers. On clear days the horizon stretches across dozens of Alpine peaks. The experience blends exhilaration with awe — the steel underfoot feels thin against the immensity of the drop, and wind gusts can amplify the sense of exposure. Accessible by cable car from Obertraun, the platforms draw a wide range of visitors seeking high-altitude spectacle without a technical climb.
