[@chetanpatteparapu7600]

Wow. The level of detail in this video is tremendous. Thanks for the video. Can 5 fingers, Shark, 3 cable cars + Hallstatt can be done in a single day? I'm travelling on 26th December

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

Great to hear you enjoyed the video! If you're staying in Hallstatt or Obertraun, you could definitely take it all in within a day. However, if you're planning to head out from Salzburg on a day trip, keep in mind it's a 3-hour journey each way. While you can breeze through Hallstatt in an hour or two, squeezing it all into a single day from Salzburg might be a bit of a rush because it takes a bit to get from Hallstatt to the Dachstein Krippenstein cable car.

Thank you for explaining all the details, it is the best video on KZbin about these locations! I'm going to be with a car and I'm going to stay in Salzburg. My plan is to visit Five Fingers in the morning and then go to Hallstat. Do you think that is possible? I'm not going to visit the mine in Hallstat, I'm thinking about just walk there and visit the village...And what is your opinion on Skywalk? Thank you!

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

Thanks for your kind words 🙏🤗 I'm really glad you found my video helpful. For this kind of day trip, having a car is helpful because you don't have to follow the bus schedule. By bus, you arrive in Hallstatt around 11am and have to leave Hallstatt around 6pm or 7pm to return to Salzburg. By car, you can reach Hallstatt in 1,5-2 hours, so you can easily do what you want if you leave Salzburg early. The plan sounds great to me. The only thing you also might want to consider is the Ice Cave or the Mammut cave. I think you could do one of the caves, the five fingers and then head to Hallstatt and see the village. It's also nice to be in Hallstatt after 6pm after those arriving by public transport have gone because it's less crowded. The Skywalk in my opinion is overrated. On the Skywalk you are above and behind the village. The view is not that great, especially if you visit the five fingers, there is no need to visit the Skywalk. I wish you a great day trip and if you have any further questions, I am happy to help. All the best, Gerhard

Hello! Gerhard. Thanks for this very informative video. Can you please tell if it would be too much cold and snow to visit the 5 Fingers at the end of October? Many Thanks.

It will be cold for sure but probably not too cold to visit. You should bring some warm clothes. To make sure there is not too much snow, you might want to check the webcam: dachstein-salzkammergut.com/aktuelles/live-vom-berg/webcams If there is not way too much snow, like when we were there and took the video, you can walk around no problem.

[@anandantowicaksono7402]

Thank you for explaining all the details, and i have a question when you and your family visit Hallstatt?

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

I am glad you liked my explanations. Sorry for the late reply! I visited Hallstatt for the first time when I was about 25 years old, and that was only because a friend from Korea visited me. Later I visited a few more times but only because I became a tour guide and had to learn about it. Hallstatt is probably the most touristy place in Austria. Locals don't really go there but it's beautiful nonetheless.

[@aldrn6656]

Can you visit the five fingers in the middle of april (15-16th) or are the cable cars closed?

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

Hello, it's possible to visit the five fingers in the middle of April. All the cable cars are running because people go skiing. I believe the two caves after the first cable car are not available but the five fingers after the second cable car are. They offer snowshoe hiking to the five fingers but it should also be possible to get there without snow shoes. You could rent the snow shoes at the valley station so I would recommend to ask there, if you can go without snowshoes as well. We were there in October and there was snow but we had no problem walking to the five fingers without our normal shoes. I hope that helps and hope you will have a wonderful time on Dachstein in April. All the best, Gerhard

Best video I found you explain everything so well! Currently planning to visit Hallstatt and the Ice caves from Salzburg in a couple of weeks. How much time do I need to visit the Ice cave and 5 fingers? I am also planning to visit Hallstatt if possible during the same day. Thank you!

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

Hello Samantha, sorry for the late reply. I somehow only noticed your comment now. I am glad you liked my explanation. I think the Ice Cave, the 5 fingers and a short visit to Hallstatt in one day can be done but you would be on a tight schedule because it takes a cable car, a short walk and a tour for the Ice Cave and then another cable car and another hike for the five fingers. If you are staying in the area or traveling by car, it can be done for sure. If you are on a day trip from Salzburg by public transport, I am not sure if it can be done because the trip itself takes almost three hours. Anyway, I hope you have an amazing trip and if you have any further questions, please let me know. All the best, Gerhard

Hey! Loved your video, very informative I am planning on going to Hallstatt from salzburg on 10th December this year.

Also, if that's the case would you recommend going to the skywalk/ salt mine instead or would they be dead as well during early December.

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

Hi Rohit, apologies for getting back to you late. I hope it all worked out well and you had an amazing time in Hallstatt. The 5 fingers should be possible. I think the 5 fingers are much better than the skywalk but the salt mines are great as well.

[@Mr.Ciobanu]

Can you do the 5 fingers & Hallstatt Village with the salt mine in a day? From Salzburg? Seems doable

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

If you travel by car and you leave early, you can make it. If you travel by public transport, it would be an extremely tight schedule because it takes almost three hours to get from Salzburg to Hallstatt and the last connection back leaves between 5 and 6 in the evening. I am not sure if it's possible. You would spend 1-2 hours in the village, take the funicular to the salt mines and back, take the bus to the Dachstein Krippenstein valley station, two cable cars and a short hike to get to the five fingers.

hello ! I am visiting in 2 weeks , would you recommend this ? also are the salt caves worth it in halstatt?

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

Hello Shane, yes, I would recommend it. I just checked. All the cable cars seem to be working but I am not sure if the Ice Cave and the Mammut Cave are open in winter since it takes a short hike to get there and there will probably be snow. The salt mines I would also recommend. They are really interesting but I would say they are not a must, if you already visit Dachstein since on Dachstein you already visit two caves. If I would have to pick between the two, I would do Dachstein. Please let me know, if you have any further questions and have a great trip! All the best, Gerhard

Also if you have any ideal recommendations of things to do around halstatt or Vienna please let me know . All the best from Ireland !

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

@@shaneguinan5404 don't worry. Most people in Vienna and also in Hallstatt speak English because these are very touristy places. For Vienna, you should actually find a lot of things to do. I would recommend taking a free walking tour to get your bearings. But even if Vienna is a big city, many of the attractions are easily accessible on foot, and it's easy to find them. The reason you can't find recommendations for things to do in Hallstatt is that the place is tiny and there isn't that much to do. If you have two nights in Hallstatt, I would recommend the salt mines. Dachstein takes a whole day but the salt mines only take a couple of hours. Other than that, the best thing to do in Hallstatt is just see the village. Here is an article on a website of mine about things to do in Hallstatt: roamaustria.com/things-to-do-in-hallstatt/ I hope that helps and if you have any further questions, please let me know!

[@MrKwokWei]

Thank you for the video! My fiancée and I are from Singapore and we will be visiting 5fingers this Mid-December. Would you recommend us to get snowshoes when visiting this place?

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

Thanks for the comment 🙏 You don't need snowshoes for the 5fingers, not even in mid-December. For mountain hiking you would need snowshoes because without them, you would sink in the snow, but on the way to the 5fingers there are many people so the snow is trodden and you can walk perfectly on it with normal shoes. Hiking shoes would be beneficial to not slip but if you walk carefully, any shoes will do. I wish you a wonderful visit and if you have any further questions, please let me know!

Thanks for the very informative vlog! I will be spending 2 nights at Obertraun could you suggest what is the best way to plan a visit to Hallstatt with the Salt Mine and visit the ice cave and 5 fingers please .

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

Hello Luca, thank you so much for your kind words! With 2 nights in Obertraun you have plenty of time for Hallstatt with the Salt Mines and Dachstein with the 5 fingers. For Hallstatt you have to cross the lake by boat. I would recommend spending one day in Hallstatt and in the salt mines and another day on Dachstein mountain. There are many things to do on Dachstein and if you want to do all of them, it takes an entire day. In Hallstatt it's basically just seeing the village and taking the funicular to the salt mines. Alternatively, you could also hike up to the salt mines in about 45 minutes. I hope that helps and if you have any further questions, please let me know! All the best, Gerhard

This sounds like the perfect plan for what you are trying to do. Yes, it is possible to leave your luggage at the valley station of the Dachstein-Krippenstein Cable Car: dachstein-salzkammergut.com/en/service-infos/service/lockers-for-luggage

[@jatinviraddiya5834]

how many hours require to see five fingers ?

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

Hey, sorry for the late reply! It takes about 2,5-3 hours from the valley station to take the two cable cars, walk to the five fingers, enjoy the view and get back down. If you have more time, I would also recommend visiting the caves after the first cable Car and possibly also taking the third cable car even if there is not much to do after the third one.

[@shtdcte]

Thank you, very nice video! Do you think there is enough time to visit Hallstatt and Dachstein in a single day? On Halstatt, I intent to walk around and visit the salt mines. On Dachstein, I intend to follow your suggestion and visit the ice cave and 5 fingers.

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

Hello Matan, I am glad you like it 😃🙏 that's a good question. I don't think it's possible. It might be possible, if you get to Hallstatt really early and skip the salt mines. But the Dachstein cable car is a bus ride away and then there is one cable car to the ice cave and a second cable car and a hike to get to the five fingers. Also in the ice cave as well as the salt mine you need a guided tour. The two times I visited, I had a full day on Dachstein each time and was really busy doing things. Both times I took the earliest ride up and last ride down and could barely finish the things on my list. I might be wrong. It might be possible with a well planned, tight schedule but what I would do is stay a night in Obertraun. Not in Hallstatt itself because the apartments in Obertraun, on the other side of the lake from Hallstatt, are way cheaper and Obertraun is the right direction to get to Dachstein. So I would do one full day Hallstatt and then take the boat to Obertraun to go to Dachstein the next morning. I hope that helps 😊

[@zuzanadvorakova4472]

[@leawardini]

Hello ! can we reach these attractions all times of the year ?? is it open in april ? Thank you.

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

Hello Léa, welcome to the video! While the caves are only open from May, the cable cars should be operational. However, I just checked the website and found out that the cable cars will run on the winter schedule until April 10th and switch to the summer schedule from April 29th. Unfortunately, I'm not sure about the time in between. During winter, when there is heavy snowfall, the caves on the first stop are closed, but you can rent snowshoes to walk to the five fingers on the second stop. Although there may be less to do, I believe it's still worth taking the cable cars if you can make your way to the five fingers. As you can see in the video, it's possible if there is not too much snow. Additionally, many people use the cable cars for skiing. I hope this helps you plan your visit!

That is a really interesting question. I am not 100% sure but with the plan you outlined above, I do think that it's possible. If you only do the 5 fingers, it doesn't take too long to take the 2 cable cars, walk over and get back down.

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

And yes, buying a ticket for the 543 bus is really easy. You just get the ticket from the bus driver.

[@MARSHALHEMBRAM]

What time you visited?

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

I visited at the beginning of October, if I remember correctly. It was quite nice, although there was already snow after the second cable car. Walking over to the Five Fingers was no problem, though. There shouldn't be any snow after the first cable car if you're planning to visit one or both of the caves. I think it would be bit more difficult to walk there, if there is snow after the first cable car. If there is too much snow on top, there is also the option to rent snow shoes, as far as I know. Enjoy your trip!

[@accless510]

How much time does it take to only visit the five fingers and ice caves? The third package

[@freewalkingtoursalzburg]

It probably takes about 2,5-3 hours to only visit the five fingers, excluding the time to get to the valley station of the cable car. The two cable cars take about 45 minutes to an hour, I guess, because you need a moment to change from one cable car to the other.

Hey, thank you for the question. To visit the 5 fingers on Dachstein, you have to take the first two cable cars. For that you need the Panoramaticket which is €35,30 at the moment. That includes all the cable cars but none of the caves. That is a great idea. The caves are nice as well, if you have an extra 2 hours and 15 more euros to spare but if you had to choose between the 5 fingers and the caves, the 5 fingers are the must-see on Dachstein.
