Description
Traversing a major part of the Dachstein’s iconic southface, the Johann via ferrata is one of the largest in Austria and a great way to experience this massive massif.
Join me and over the course of our day together, we will climb the iron path up to the Simony Hut before reaching the summit of this 2.995-meter high massif on an easier path.
Our day begins with a scenic two hour hiking approach to the start of the Johann via ferrata, which will take us up along the iconic southface of the Dachstein. From the via ferrata, we will enjoy some great views of the surroundings, including an up-close view of the massive rock wall.
Once we reach the the Simony Hut, we will disembark from this via ferrata, have a short rest, then continue to the summit via another easy ferrata.
From the summit, we’ll enjoy superb views of the surrounding Alps and accompanying scenery, before hiking back over a glacier to the hut and taking a gondola back down the mountain.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun and accessible 1-day via ferrata climb up the Dachstein’s iconic southface and on to the peak’s summit!
If you like the look of this trip then I think you will also enjoy my 1+ day climbing expedition along the Königsjodler via ferrata on Hochkönig, also in Austria!

Mountain Guide
Born in the Austrian Alps, the connection to the mountains was there from early on. Started skiing as a 3 year old kid, bit later climbing and mountaineering stepped in my live. Skiing and climbing all over the Alps and abroad became a huge part of my life.
One of my favorite places in the Alps are the mountains around Chamonix and Zermatt. Since graduating as a fully-certified Mountain guide, I’ve been able to share my passion for skiing and climbing with my guests. When I’m not guiding I try to push my personal limits in climbing and mountaineering. Looking forward reaching summits together.

Daniel is a phenomenal climbing guide. Our trip was a 1-day multipitch climb in the Hochkönig region. Daniel expresses a lifetime of experience in the region and is extremely knowledgeable about the routes and rock. Given it was our first multipitch/alpine/Austria experience, Daniel provided a safe and thorough climbing experience: reviewing gear, technique, and uniquely helpful beta. We could not have asked for a better day in the mountains and climbed on some of the coolest limestone features we have ever been on. Definitely a new high point for us. Daniel is extremely personable and made it readily known that he was there to help facilitate our adventure; whether its modifying plans or changing pace, Daniel was happy to accommodate. We are thankful for having him as a guide and for all of the additional info he provided to make our tour of the Salzburg area an awesome adventure. As others have noted, we highly recommend chatting with Daniel over WhatsApp, and he was extremely helpful in learning about the many climbing areas and options around Austria.

Daniel knows the Matterhorn like the back of his hand. If you want to get to the top as efficiently as possible he is your guy.
