Dachstein - The stairway to nowhere
Your journey to the Stairway to Nowhere begins with an exciting cable car ride that takes you up to the mountain station of the Dachstein Glacier Railway. Once there, a short but spectacular walk along the suspension bridge and through the ice palace awaits you before you finally reach the famous staircase.
The Stairway to Nothingness is a masterpiece of modern architecture and engineering, set against the unrivalled backdrop of the Dachstein glacier. This glass platform offers visitors an impressive 360-degree view of the surrounding Alps.
When you descend the steps, you will quickly understand why it is called the "Stairway to Nothingness". The glass platform hovers 14 metres above the abyss and offers a clear view of the 400-metre-deep crevasse below.
The Dachstein experience
The view from the stairway to nowhere is truly spectacular and incomparable. The snow-capped peaks of the Alps, glistening in the sunlight, stretch as far as the eye can see. And when you look down, a breathtaking view of the glacier opens up, revealing the beauty and power of nature in its purest form.
Apart from the "stairway to nowhere", the Dachstein has much more to offer. For hiking enthusiasts, there are numerous trails that lead you through the breathtaking landscape. In winter, the area transforms into a paradise for wind walkers and cross-country skiers. There is also an impressive ice cave to discover.
