"Obertraun Mountain Moments 2025" Sunrise on the Krippenstein with Breakfast
It's worth getting up early for that!
Standing on a summit at sunrise is probably one of the most beautiful experiences that can be found in the mountains of the Salzkammergut. While it is still dark down in the valleys, the first colors slowly mix into the morning sky. A short time later, it looked as if someone had painted the sky with orange and pink highlighters. A red fireball slowly emerges from the fog soup on the horizon. The first rays of sunshine can be seen timidly on the highest peaks all around. Finally, you can feel the first ray of sunshine on your face – it's getting warm. It's worth getting up early for that!
Unforgettable sunrise moments over Lake Hallstatt
Anyone who has ever stood on a mountain peak at sunrise knows about the incomparable experience of nature. In the quiet atmosphere of the early morning hours, hikers can enjoy the clear, fresh air and pleasant temperatures. The magical moment when the sun slowly rises behind the mountain peaks and bathes the landscape in golden light offers a breathtaking view of the mountains of the Salzkammergut and a fascinating atmosphere of the early morning.
Attention early risers
Would you like to experience something unusual and unique during your holiday in the UNESCO World Heritage region of Hallstatt Dachstein Salzkammergut? Then we recommend the popular sunrise trips to the 2000 meter high Krippenstein in Obertraun on Lake Hallstatt!
A Place in the Sun
Because when the day slowly awakens in the early morning, Lake Hallstatt still lies quietly in its lake bed and the morning dew drips from the leaves - then it's time for an unusual pleasure experience! Almost exclusively, you float quietly and comfortably up to 2000 metres above sea level on the Dachstein Krippenstein cable car, where the breath-taking natural scenery of the Dachstein massif lies at your feet. If you want to experience the full range of the panorama, we recommend the approximately fifteen minute walk to the World Heritage Spiral or the almost 45 minute walk to the FiveFingers viewing platform.
Culinary Conclusion
This incomparable morning is rounded off with a rustic breakfast at the Mountain Restaurant. Freshly brewed coffee, crispy pastries and plenty of delicious specialities from the region bring this morning to a close. An unusual opportunity to see the Dachstein "awaken" and take a little speed out of your own everyday life, to "decelerate" the stress of everyday life a little!
Would you like to continue hiking?
For all those who would like to hike a little further after their alpine breakfast, we would like to recommend the Heilbronner circular hiking trail. This leads from the Mountain Restaurant to the Dachstein-Hai through the impressive karst landscape to the Heilbronner Cross and back to the mountain station on the Krippenstein. The hike takes about 2 hours and is a great experience for all the senses.
Even without a car to the mountain adventure!
For the sunrise ride, it starts very early. The meeting point is the valley station of the "Krippenstein cable car" in Obertraun on Lake Hallstatt. No problem for guests with a car? But what do you do if you are not mobile? Ask your host. He helps them to find a solution with advice and action. For example, by taxi or the "Salzkammergut Shuttle". Just ask and enjoy an unforgettable mountain adventure.

Rustic! Incomparable! Simply Irresistible!
Simply get away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by nature, cowbells ringing instead of your smartphone…. Holidays up on an Alpine pasture, or in one of the many mountain huts, are becoming increasingly popular. But it is not always easy to find the "right" Alpine pasture or mountain hut. Therefore, we have compiled the most beautiful "Mountain service stations" for you, with stunning panoramic pictures and the most important information for all "newcomers" and World Heritage hikers. As it is usual in the Simonyhütte, the Adamekhütte or Hütteneckalm in Bad Goisern to greet people informally with a “Du” rather that the formal "Sie", as we say here in the UNESCO World Heritage region of Hallstatt Dachstein Salzkammergut…. "Grias di"!
