From Ramsau-Ort you hike up through the town, past the Protestant church and the cemetery to Knollhof. Here continue on path #6 to Ramsbergerhof and Lindenhof and continue uphill through sparse forests to the Edelbrunn-Roseggersteig hiking portal.
From Gasthof Edelbrunn, a wide forest path (path #615) leads steadily uphill, first past the Dachsteinhaus towards the Türlwandhütte. The Sitzbichl (rest area with bench) is a beautiful vantage point with a clear view over the western Ramsau plateau and the Schladminger Tauern. Our path continues steadily, slightly uphill to the Brandalm with a first beautiful and really impressive view of the Dachstein. There is also the memorial for the mountaineers who died on the Dachstein and the Dachstein Church. Above is the Austriahütte with the Dachstein Museum, accessible via a short hike from Brandalm. The 5 Huts Trail continues through the Ramsauer Almen area and flows into Dachsteinstrasse below the Hunerkogel inn.
About 400 m to the valley station of the Gletscherbahn or Türlwandhütte. The climb to the Südwandhütte (path # 6 and 615) begins here. This path leads directly below the Dachstein cable car up to the Schwadering cirque, where a waterfall often cascades over the rock face and a snow field still has to be crossed well into the summer. The views on the climb are magnificent. After about 40 minutes of walking from the valley station you will reach the Südwandhütte, which impresses with its great location at the foot of the Dachstein south walls with panoramic views.
From the Südwandhütte the path first leads down the Pernerweg towards the south walls, then turns left and goes steeply downhill. Later in a beautiful larch forest to the Maralmboden. This is a more special place, a natural arena with a small stream and a magnificent view of the southern walls. On path #671 in approx. 30 minutes to the Neustattalm - probably one of the best photo points along the tour! Continue across Dachsteinstrasse to the Walcheralm with its own cheese dairy and down to the Glös-Alm. Via the Schlitzenalm we head towards the Dachsteinhaus, where shortly before the path connects back to the ascent route. From there on the familiar route back to Edelbrunn or Ramsau-Ort.
