Itinerary
- Day 1
Gröbming
You'll arrive at Gröbming train station and get a transfer up to Steinerhaus mountain inn, which sits at 1,845 meters on the Stoderzinken. The drive follows Styria's highest alpine road and gives you some nice views along the way. After checking in, you can settle in and relax on the terrace, taking in the mountain scenery. The blue hour (that time just after sunset) is particularly good for photos here.
Included Activities
- Passenger transfer from Gröbming train station to Steinerhaus
- Welcome video with explanations and information about the tour
- Dachstein hiking guide and map provided
Optional Activities
- Visit Friedenskircherl (Peace Church) near the mountain inn

Steinerhaus to Viehbergalm
This hiking day takes you from Steinerhaus to Viehbergalm, passing through a larch forest and an old mule track. You'll go through the Notgasse ravine, which has UNESCO-protected rock carvings carved into the stone. From there, it's down to Brandalm and then along the Bettlersteig trail to reach Viehbergalm, a small alpine village with several staffed huts serving fresh food. You're carrying your own luggage today, though your other bags get transferred to Bad Mitterndorf for tomorrow.

Today's a lighter hiking day with rolling terrain leading up to Hochmühleck at 1,731 meters, where you get good views of the Kemet Mountains. You'll pass the Steinitzenalm alpine hut (good for a break), then continue through Langmoosalm and down the Almgraben valley into Bad Mitterndorf. This historic spa town has healing springs that the Celts knew about centuries ago, and you get views of the Grimming massif from here. Your luggage is already waiting at the hotel, so you can have a relaxing evening.

Your final day hike moves through the Styrian Salzkammergut, starting from Steinitzenalm toward the Stieger snack bar and karst springs hidden in the forest. Later, you reach Ödensee, a forest moor lake where you can swim if you want, with a stop at the Kohlröserihütte inn. After that, follow the forest path along the Traun River and past the Vogelhutte to reach Bad Aussee, a spa town built from the salt industry. If you drove, take the train back to Gröbming with a transfer to Steinerhaus; if you came by train, you can leave from Bad Aussee on your own.
