Dachstein Salzkammergut

The Inner Salzkammergut, also known as the Dachstein Salzkammergut, stretches around the imposing Dachstein massif – from Bad Ischl in the north to Schladming in the south and from Abtenau in the west to Bad Mitterndorf in the east. The region lies at the intersection of the provinces of Upper Austria, Styria and Salzburg, with the majority of it located in Upper Austria.

Since the 14th century, the region's rich salt deposits have shaped it and made it significant worldwide. Archaeological finds and centuries-old traditions bear witness to the long history of this cultural landscape. In 1997, the Dachstein Salzkammergut was declared a World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO – an award for its unique combination of breathtaking nature and historical significance.
Today, the region attracts visitors with its salt mines, impressive panoramas and varied winter sports opportunities. Whether hiking, skiing or simply enjoying the alpine landscape, the Dachstein Salzkammergut offers unforgettable experiences for everyone.
