The Dachstein Road and its Special Toll (Route Toll)

The Dachstein Road is located in Styria and is frequently used to reach the Dachstein area near Ramsau am Dachstein. This route is subject to a special toll (also referred to as a route toll). Therefore, a additional fee must be paid for using the Dachstein Road, regardless of any existing vignette or distance-based toll already paid. Further information on the costs of the special toll can be found on the official Schladming-Dachstein website. You can also find more details about the special toll and other routes subject to this toll in our guide.

Exceptions to the Special Toll

If you are travelling to Austria, you should definitely include the Dachstein Glacier in your travel plans. A particular feature of the special toll on the Dachstein Road is that it is waived if you are a cable car guest. You can validate your special toll ticket at a machine at the Dachstein mountain station, making use of the Dachstein Road free of charge for you. The cable car at the Dachstein Glacier takes you to the glacier’s popular viewing points. If you would like to visit the attractions on the Dachstein Glacier, such as the “Stairway to Nothingness” or the suspension bridge, and plan to use the cable car anyway, you should not be discouraged by this special toll route. You can find further information about the unique Dachstein Glacier in our guide.
