A mountain holiday in the Dachstein-Tauern West region offers images of a mountainous landscape full of contrasts and pristine beauty. The area presented in this Rother hiking guide stretches from St. Johann im Pongau to the western edge of Styria, from the Tennengebirge and Dachstein to the Tauerntunnel. Spectacular viewpoints, such as at the foot of the Dachstein south face and the Bischofsmütze, are featured alongside tranquil alpine pastures and enchanting biotopes. The author, Sepp Brandl, an excellent connoisseur of this mountainous region, presents a total of 58 tours - ranging from easy hut and alpine hikes to more challenging high mountain routes. Some excursions are assisted by cable cars and hiking taxis for the ascent, but most can be completed without them. Tour profiles, detailed route descriptions, and informative elevation profiles complete the offering.
