5 Fingers

Beautiful view. Cost about 40ish euros to go up 60ish for whole package including ice cave and Mammoth cave. It's about a 15 minute hike after reaching the top of the funicular. View is stunning. Can easily spend a day in dachstein if you incorporate ice cave and Mammoth and want to bask in the views.

Awesome hike with nice view. its about 30 min long way from cabin but you will experience a lot of magnificient views and panoramas. Cherry on the top is the view from 5fingers at the end. depends on time but there is whole day quite busy so it will take some time to get into spot for like alone photo on finger,etc but thats normal for place like this.

Visited here on 17-06-25. Advisable to come as early as possible to see as much as possible as distances are vast between attractions and the 5 Fingers Viewpoint itself. If you are going to see any of the caves, leave ample time before taking the next cable car up to the taller mountain to 5 Fingers Viewpoint. We were not told how long the walk would be the to the cave. We bought a combination ticket to see the Ice Cave and 5 Fingers. Make sure you wear sturdy comfortable shoes with a good grip. The weather was very warm and we were not told that the walk up to the entrance of the cave was 20 mins and STEEP. In the hot sun, it wasn't easy. The cave tour is amazing. Bring a light jacket/jumper as it gets very cool/cold inside depending on how you adjust to low temperatures. It starts off exploring the main caves. You will see many stalactites and stalagmites formations. Be warned, there are many steps including steep staircase steps to the Ice cave so advisable that you are relatively fit and in good health as the tour requires a lot of walking and many steps as well as a few steep staircases. The cave tour is amazing, the sheer size, the rock formations and the ice. Once you go to get the 2nd cable car and head up to the submit, the spaces are vast and to get to the 5 Fingers Viewing Point is actually quite a walk, 30 mins to be precise. The surface is NOT completely flat and consists of inclines both up and down so bare that in mind depending on how good you are at walking and breathing given the altitude and weather, if its hot. The views are incredible. We were lucky enough to see two paragliders preparing to take off which was amazing to watch. *MOST IMPORTANT* - Remember what time the LAST cable car is due to leave. We lost track of time and ended up missing the last one. Thankfully after talking to a few people, there was one at 6pm (unofficial) which we rode back down with staff of the cable cars but be conscious of time. There is a restaurant at the top reasonable priced where you can have a drink/meal as well as toilets. Overall an amazing visit, we had a wonderful time. Would advise to leave ample time to explore, comfortable, sturdy footwear, plenty of water/drinks to stay hydrated, sun screen, sunglasses, in other words come prepared.

Worth every penny to go see this beautiful place! Fair warning: the observation deck is a 30 minute, medium rigor hike away from the cable car. Totally doable if you’re in decent shape. Will be challenging if you have physical limitations/are in bad shape.

Very nice view of the Hallstättersee. 🤩 Like every tourist attraction there were a few people, but it was okay. 😀

One of the most beautiful and best in my opinion with breathtaking panoramic views! Yes, the walk is not an easy one as you take the cable car to the top of "Five Fingers" which takes 20-30 minutes. Then walking up to the top and to the platform takes time and effort. Please take clothes and take them for walking. Note that the price of a round-trip cable car ticket starts at approximately 44 euros - which is a bit expensive, but the views are breathtaking. Be sure to check the weather forecast before you go up, as it is surrounded by a lot of clouds and you will see a view of Lake and the village of Hallstatt, the most beautiful village in Austria.

Five fingers is an amazing viewing platform reachable within 20-30 minutes on foot from the cable car station on Krippenstein. There is an option to have your photo being taken and to pick it up later back at the cable car station. On a beautiful day, expect more people, especially families and groups, but it was still manageable when we visited on a weekday.

Very nice view. But make sure to check the live cam on the weather condition before visiting.
