BergSommerGenuss (Mountain Summer Enjoyment) stands for culinary and scenic highlights in the dreamlike mountain world of the Dachstein. It’s not for nothing that the 2,995-metre-high (9,826 ft) mountain bears the distinction ‘World Heritage Nature and Culture Region’ – enjoyment and nature are the main focus on this 30-kilometre (19 mi) circular hike on the southern part of the Dachstein Mountains. The perfect start and end point is Filzmoos in the heart of Salzburger Land, where culinary delights are a priority. In the excellent local restaurants and inns, you can enjoy alpine gourmet cuisine, while you can even try your hand at cooking yourself in Johanna Maier's cooking school.

The BergSommerGenuss hiking package is characterised by the combination of mountain experiences and culinary delights. Across four days and over three hiking stages, you can expect not only breathtaking views, but also cosy overnight stays in mountain huts including traditional specialities from the region. After your arrival on the first day, you’ll enjoy an excellent six-course dinner at the Hotel Dachstein Filzmoos before you start your adventure. You then hike through the unique landscape of the Dachstein massif and spend nights in the historic Hofpürglhütte and the rustic Dachstein Südwandhütte where there’s even more delicious food to eat.

During this adventure on the Dachstein, you walk through high alpine terrain so surefootedness, a head for heights and the right equipment are indispensable. Low temperatures are likely even in high summer so dress appropriately. Filzmoos is easily accessible by car via the Tauern motorway, but you can also get there by public transport: from the nearby railway stations of Eben, Radstadt and Bischofshofen, you can reach the village comfortably by bus. Nothing stands in the way of a long weekend of great hiking and delicious food!
