A fantastic itinery combining a real variety of walks in staggeringly beautiful countryside with options to suit most walkers.
Fabulous scenery on the walks in this holiday, and walking paths quite easy and well surfaced. Very easy to lunch well in mountain cafes with good choice of low alcohol beers. Swimming opportunities on Gosausee not to be missed.
This was repeat of the same holiday we took in September 2015. We wanted to go back "before we get too old".
With hinsdsight, we wish we had booked an extra night at the Hotel Agathawirt in St Agatha, if only to enjoy the hospitality offered to us. We could have easily spent a day simply mooching around Bad Goisern. We walked through the town on the way back from the Ewige Wand, and felt there was a lot to explore. Even on an overcast day, with thunderstorms threatened, the view from the Ewige Wand is well worth the walk, particularly if you choose a day when the Rathlucken Hutte is open, as we did.
Despite its relative size, the Heritage Hotel at Hallstatt provides a very comfortable stay, and manages to provide that "small Hotel" feeling. When we arrived, we were a bit disappointed to be given a room in Haus Seethaler, a few minutes walk away from the main building, but when we saw the room (and its lake view) our disappointment instantly evaporated. We did not mind the walk down to the restaurant in the main building, and if given sufficient notice, the hotel will transport your luggage between the buildings. To be honest, during the day, Hallstatt is packed with tourists, and, unless you have a penchant for selfie sticks, the best advice is to get out of town. However, it is an attractive town, and is best appreciated in the evening, after the day trippers have departed, so do make the time to walk around the town and see it for itself. We took the bus to the cable car at the Krippenstein and then took the cable cars to the second station. We then walked round to the Five Fingers to enjoy the view, which is spectacular.
Gosau is a special place for us, so we booked an extra night there, as we did last time. The hospitality offered at the Hotel Gosauerhof is still as good as it was ten years ago, and we cannot fault it in any way. My advice would be to make a separate visit to the Hinterer Gosausee, rather than as an add-on to the first day. We took the bus from opposite the hotel to the Gosausee, and walked up from there and back again, and then took the bus back to the hotel. The hut at the Hinterer Gosausee is closed on Wednesdays, but on the Wednesday we visited, they did provide a rudimentary self-service option for drinks (OK, bottles of beer and soft drinks in a cattle trough, cooled by running water) with an honesty box. During our stay, the hot weather made us cut back our plan to take the cable car to the Zweisalalm and walk back to Gosau, instead we took the cable car to the top, walked around to enjoy the views in all directions, had lunch and took the cable back down again.
Finally, I should mention the excellent bus services in the local area and the comprehensive website that allows you to plan your journeys. We found this to be invaluable.

One of the best Inntravel holidays we have done. Walking, hotel and food all to a high standard. Would suggest pre-booking restaurants in Halstatt. Would have been nicer to stay in main hotel in Halstatt rather than annex but it was no where near as bad as some of the reviews we had read.
The scenery throughout was wonderful. The welcome at Agathawirt was exceptional.
We would recommend starting the transfer walk from St Agatha to Hallstat at a reasonable time. It is not that long a walk and allows plenty of time to visit the Salt Mine in Hallstat in the afternoon.
We really liked the hiking suggestions overall. The views were amazing, and we liked having the extended hiking options. Ewige Wand in Bad Goisern, the walk to Hallstadt, and the hike to Hinterer Gosausee was well-worth the extra effort and the Huette with beer and food at the end is not to be missed. Given the days of our hikes, a lot of the suggested places to eat were closed. So be forewarned about that. (Many are closed on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Then the day we thought we'd hit one on a Wednesday, that was the day it was closed!) Also be aware that we found several detours in the mountains around Gosau. It is helpful to know that the German word for detour is "Umleitung". (Not a problem for us, since I speak German, but anyone who doesn't should know this!)
The magnificience of the mountain ridge of the Dachstein West. They are so steep and jagged. The lakes, both of them (Gosausee and Hinterer Gosausee) with the back drop of the surrounding mountains and the superlative reflection they cast on the lakes was beautiful. We were very lucky with the weather and this certainly contributed to the quality of our walks. A good tip would be to phone ahead to some of the huts on your route to find out if they are open. Several were closed, which is understandable and that point in the season, a few days before total closure.
Lovely area to walk in, hotels were generally OK, evening menu at Agathawirt was poor, however. The non provision of required (and paid for!) maps spoilt the trip, the map paid for and provided to others is available to order on the Dachstein Salzkammergut web site (not discontinued as advised) and so should have been sent out as holiday was paid for weeks in advance.
The high level Krippenstein walk, the Five Fingers and the salt mine visit near Hallstatt were spectacular and not to be missed. Hallstatt was pretty but very touristy - this was the first time we have had to use MyTracks to find the hotel restaurant that was 750m from our room in a very separate building. There were no hotel staff available after 10pm in Hallstatt at the Heritage Hotel. From the Gosauerhof Hotel the hike to the higher Hinterer Gosausee lake was well worth it for the magificent view of the mountains and glacier reflected in the lake.
Another wonderful holiday with Inntravel (our eighth). We were blessed with perfect weather, which meant we could appreciate the walks all the more. Hallstatt, which was very expensive, was full of tourists; so get those photo opportunities in before breakfast. We prebooked evening meals at the Heritage Hotel, having read the previous reviews (we saw many non-residents turned away). The little electric boats in Hallstatt were fun! The Krippenstein to Gjaidalm walk and 5 Five Finger Challenge were fab! The Holzmeister Café at the Hinterer Gosausee is closed on Wednesdays. On the Zwieselalm to Gosau walk there is a great café (the Gosau Stub'n) at the Chairlift Station (about 6km down the route); perfect for lunch!
Another splendid Inntravel holiday, despite very mixed weather. The first day's walk, to the Rathlucken Hütte, was the most varied and interesting - and the Cafe Maislinger in Bad Goisern is a must for Kaffee und Kuchen! First and last hotels excellent and very friendly. The Heritage Hotel in Hallstatt was OK but impersonal. We ate twice at the Grüner Baum, where the food and the views were fantastic. Hallstatt is beautiful but, as others have said, it is awash with day trippers during the day, with the result that there are a lot of shops selling tat and a take-it-or-leave-it attitude among shopkeepers and restaurants (except the Grüner Baum). Nonetheless I would recommend switching the three-day part of the holiday to Hallstatt rather than Gosau, as the hotel there is isolated with little to do in bad weather other than get a bus to Hallstatt or Bad Ischl (the latter highly recommended, especially on a Friday morning when the market is on). Salt mine tour in Hallstatt was excellent.
