Pristine slopes, early access, exclusive to you!

The special thing about the early rides for tourers to the 2000-metre-high Krippenstein is the opportunity to use the quiet slopes and the untouched slopes before the general opening hours of the lift. This allows for a "one-way" experience, where tourers can take the cable car up early in the morning and then enjoy their descent on touring skis into the day to experience the ski touring fun to the fullest.

The early rides allow tourers to get up the mountain before the regular opening. It is a "one-way" experience that is only offered to ski tourers. Ski tourers can enjoy the fresh slopes and untouched slopes in peace. After the ride, the tourers can continue their tour on the mountain and thus have more time for their adventure.

Ski touring with the "Rumpler Card"
One ticket for everything

The "Rumpler card" is not a standard product, but
refers to a special cable car ticket for the Rumpler ski tour on the Dachstein. It typically includes the ascent and descent with the Krippenstein cable car and allows ski tourers access to the starting point of the tour on the Gjaidstein. The card is intended for the classic circumnavigation of the Gjaidstein, which is shortened by the cable car support and is one of the highlights of the Dachstein Mountains.
