Once at the top, two very different experiences await: on the one hand, thrills on the Dachstein suspension bridge, including the famous \u201cStairway to Nowhere\u201d, where you can feel as though you\u2019re floating above the abyss whilst enjoying an unrivalled view of the surrounding snow-capped peaks. On the other hand, things are a little quieter deep inside the glacier. The Dachstein Ice Palace is a walk-in ice cave where colourfully lit ice stalactites and artistic ice sculptures create a mystical atmosphere.\r\n\r\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-55777 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df\" title=\"On the Dachstein Glacier, the brave can enjoy a truly special view from dizzying heights.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"On the Dachstein Glacier, the brave can enjoy a truly special view from dizzying heights.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-729x486.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-468x312.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-999x666.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/08\/RS26679_shutterstock_2137482871-scr.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"55777\">\u00a9 U.

Attractions such as the Swarovski Crystal Worlds (with a play tower in the garden) or thermal spas like the Aqua Dome are particularly interesting for children. Tracked toboggan runs, such as the Nocky Flitzer on the Turracher H\u00f6he or the Alpine Coaster Golm in the Montafon, also provide safe winter fun for young and old alike. Cultural sites such as Hallstatt, with their fairytale setting, can also fascinate children.\r\n<h3>What activities away from the slopes are worth doing in bad winter weather?<\/h3>\r\nWhen the weather is changeable, indoor attractions are the best alternatives. Thermal spas and wellness centres such as the Aqua Dome in L\u00e4ngenfeld are ideal, as holidaymakers can relax there regardless of the weather. The Swarovski Crystal Worlds are also largely indoors and offer hours of sparkle and entertainment. Cultural attractions such as museums, for example in Hallenstadt, or a stroll through historic town centres can also be enjoyed in warm clothing. Even some high-altitude destinations such as the Gipfelwelt 3000 on the Kitzsteinhorn can be experienced sheltered from the weather. The Cinema 3000 and the Infotunnel, for instance, are located indoors.\r\n<h3>How can visitors find out the current opening times and conditions of winter attractions?<\/h3>\r\nOpening times may vary depending on the season and weather. The most reliable way for visitors to find out is via the official websites of the respective attractions. This is where up-to-date information is published, including any weather-related closures of cable cars or changes to opening times on public holidays. The regional tourist offices in the holiday resorts are also happy to provide further information. For attractions requiring a booking, it is advisable to book online well in advance and to take note of any weather warnings.\r\n<h3>Do winter sports enthusiasts need special equipment or preparation for winter excursions off-piste?<\/h3>\r\nFor most destinations, normal clothing is sufficient: warm, non-slip shoes, winter-proof clothing and, depending on the activity, gloves and a hat. High-altitude attractions such as the Dachstein Suspension Bridge or the Gipfelwelt 3000 absolutely require warm clothing, as temperatures can be very low at high altitudes. For ice caves, gloves and possibly a light hat under the helmet are also advisable. When visiting thermal spas, guests should pack swimwear and possibly bathing shoes.\r\n<h3>What costs should visitors expect for attractions in Austria\u2019s ski resorts?<\/h3>\r\nCosts vary depending on the type of attraction. Cable car rides to viewing platforms often cost between 50 and 60 euros for adults, with children paying around half that. Admission to indoor attractions such as the Swarovski Crystal Worlds is around 25 euros (reduced rate for children), whilst day passes for thermal spas are around 40 euros per adult. Guided tours of glacier caves (Hintertux, Dachstein) cost around 25 to 30 euros for adults. Alpine coaster or toboggan runs cost around 10 to 20 euros per person per ride. Some highlights are even free of charge. It\u2019s worth checking out family tickets or combined tickets, as many attractions offer discounts, and with visitor cards from the holiday regions, holidaymakers often get a discount on admission or mountain railways.<!-- \/wp:post-content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Austria\u2019s ski resorts aren\u2019t just for skiing enthusiasts; there\u2019s plenty to discover away from the slopes too.
