> Cross the exciting Schwarzkogelsteig (T4) section
This 3-day hut-to-hut trek starts in Gosau and ends in Filzmoos, tracing the northern edge of the impressive Dachstein mountain range. The route is perfect for fit beginners with an appetite for adventure and follows clearly marked alpine trails through meadows and forests, with glacier-fed peaks such as the Hallstätter Gletscher in the distance. Don't forget to take pictures overlooking the beautiful Vorderer Gosausee!
You’ll spend your nights in two traditional Austrian huts: the scenic Gablonzerhütte and the mountain-framed Hofpürglhütte. Each day brings new landscapes and alpine vibes. On the final day, things step up with the Schwarzkogelsteig, an almost 5km T4-rated passage with exposure, views, and a true sense of mountain achievement.
Located between the Tennengebirge and the Steirisches Dachsteinplateau, just southeast of Salzburg and near the Styria border, this trek delivers beginner-accessible alpine magic with just the right touch of thrill.
You’ll receive access to our trekking app, which serves as your complete digital travel guide for the Dachstein Rundwanderweg. Inside, you’ll find everything you need for your trek: route descriptions, hiking maps, navigation support, payment information, and all the key details specific to your journey.
During your Dachstein Rundwanderweg, you will spend your nights in mountain huts. In the mountain huts we normally only book dormitories, but we can look into private rooms on request. If the private rooms are fully booked or not available in the hut, we automatically book a bed in dormitories for you. Please note that private rooms are more expensive and there will be an additional charge for this.
Accommodation in the huts includes dinner and breakfast, unless otherwise indicated in the exclusive list. This allows you to travel lighter and not have to worry about an extra meal. Please note, however, that lunch is not included, but can be purchased at the huts.
Our trekking app also includes built-in navigation support. With GPS-based maps and offline access, you can follow the trail confidently and stay on route even without mobile signal.
You have to make your own way to the starting point. The total amount does not include personal transport.
Should you need any form of (public) transport on location, this is not part of the trekking package. This includes the use of taxi, bus, cable cars, gondolas, ferries, etc.
Half-board is included in the price of this trek. Lunch, however, is not. You can get something to eat at the mountain huts along the way.
Your international travel insurance is your own responsibility. Discuss your itinerary with the insurance company before your trek.
Personal expenses on such as souvenirs, drinks, and other similar expenses are for your own account.
