- AAdi1405Tel Aviv, Israel60 contributionsA real jemIf you are in the neighborhood don't miss the experience. The Skywalk and the village itself are very enjoyable. Half a day should be sufficient for both, and it is recommended to walk down from the Skywalk to the village. Should you wish to take photos, be prepared to stand in line for the good spots.HEllo AAdi1405, thanks for your rating. We are glad that you enjoyed your visit. We are looking forward to welcome you back. Maybe the next time in one of our salt mines in Salzburg or Altaussee?

- Janeen M13 contributionsBreathtaking ViewsBeautiful views. The little train up to the top was quick and steady. We went at the end of March, we took the 12:30p ride up, and the 1:15p ride down. It can be kind of annoying getting a pic on the skywalk, but if you take pictures for others they will do the same for you. Of course, there are individuals who aren't considerate of others space or pictures but that happens in many tourist spots. You're able to angle yourself in many ways to get beautiful unobstructed backgrounds. While the skywalk has amazing pictures, also take a few shots on the bridge, there are far less people and it's equally as beautiful.Hello Ilikeitmyway22, thanks for your rating.

- snj1027Saint Louis, Missouri117 contributionsLong lines but awesome viewProbably like most reviews it gets crowded and can't be a long wait. Obviously the view is beautiful. Personally it would be nice to be able to spend more time observing the area but we felt rushed as felt bad for others waiting like we did. One issue are those who come up their selfie sticks and take a lot of pictures in different poses like they are modeling for instagram. But it is worth going up and provides amazing views.Hello XXXsnj1027 thank you for your rating (and feedback). We are glad that you enjoyed your visit. We are looking forward to welcome you back.

- Raintree_ThailandBangkok, Thailand4,287 contributionsA long first step down!The Skywalk is a viewing platform extended out over the valley above Hallstatt. The views of the town, lake, and mountains are spectacular -- especially on clear days. We rode the funicular up the mountain and waited our turn to reach the tip of the skywalk for the obligatory photos. Despite some narcissists taking an inordinate amount time for multiple photos in their goofy poses, the wait was not intolerable.

- CodyDCWashington DC, District of Columbia6,944 contributionsWorth the effort for beautiful panorama views of the lake and mountainsI was lucky that I went when it was not too crowded due to it being a rainy day in the morning before it cleared up in the afternoon. I bought the ticket and waited in queue for about 15 minutes. Once I got to the top, made my way to the overlook which semi-crowded but managed to get some good photos. I wanted to go the salt mine but that was booked up.Hello CodyDC, thanks for your rating. We are glad that you enjoyed your visit. We are looking forward to welcome you back.

We spent just 15eur for the boat and rowing along the river to see this small town on the side. The locals here was really friendly and willing to help, even their population here is just around 700-800 peoples but their potential tourism’s still always improved. Getting in the middle of the river and singing together, memorable time would never forget.

We took a tour from the City of Salzburg. When we reach, the first view we had was marvelous from the lake.
The little houses, the small café & restaurants for tourist, the aspect and look of a small town, the lake with the rocky formations and the skywalk view was simply exceptional.
Even though that Austria is not sorrounded by SEA, the lakes itself shows other perspective of this beautiful country.

When in Hallstatt make sure you go up to the skywalk, whether it is sun or snow, for the most amazing views (depending on cloud cover) of the Alps, the lake and the towns surrounding the lake.
Hallstatt in December is amazing with markets and Gluhwein, great food.
We plan to re-visit some day and spend more than a morning there, hopefully a few days.

The viewpoint can be reached either on foot, after a significant hike, or by a funicular railway that runs from the town of Hallstatt. The funicular costs 20 euro for a two way journey. It is also close to a historically significant salt mine. The views are truly spectacular from here, however the viewpoint itself is so popular that there are often queues to take photos.

Very rude crew, over-expensive and not worth the money.
One of the worst places to visit, 20 euros per person, just to climb up and down a mountain, imagine me with a whole family with me. Who should I take with me, and who should I leave? That's the kind of existential questions, I was asking myself in front of a 100 person line waiting to waste their hard earned money for such a tourist trap.

Hello Chagraaa,
Thank you so much for your visit and feedback! We’re very sorry that your experience with us was not to your liking. We do our best to provide an experience that enjoyable to most visitors. The price of the cable-car ticket includes not only your ride up and down the mountain but also the information in our multi-language audioguide, as well as the exhibition grave and the exhibits in the Knappenhaus. For our more athletically inclined visitors, there is also a trail to the Upper Hallstatt Valley, and hiking up would save you the money spent on the cable-car. Perhaps we would be able to redeem ourselves on your next visit?
Best regards and a traditional “Glück Auf,”
Your Salzwelten team

We hiked to the viewpoint and had lunch at the restaurant at the top. All in all a 2.5hr round trip that was definitely worth it! You also avoid the €18 cable car return trip completely as the viewing platform is free to walk on to. Go earn that schnitzel! 😉

Beautiful view of the town and lake BUT you also could save the time and money because lines for the durnickare and a picture on the skywalk were long (we visited during off season, I bet it is incredibly during busier months). There are plenty of free, beautiful views around town especially is you take the path behind the church on the hill. This must see, beautiful town has so much to offer.

Hello Sarah,
thank you very much for your review and feedback. You are right, Hallstatt offers many beautiful views. The path to the viewing platform is usually accessible by foot, except when the weather conditions don't allow it. But isn't it more comfortable and exciting to take the cable car up? We would definitely be very happy to welcome you back soon. Perhaps next time at one of our salt mines in Salzburg or Altaussee?

access to Hallstatt is near impossible in a motor home in October. All motor home car parks are closed and all other car parks have height restrictions. Staff are rude and unhelpful. I imagine this to be a beautiful place but clearly Hallstatt doesn’t care for tourist money.

The sky walk is located at the edge of moutain on the way to/from the salt mine. A nice bird's eye view of the surrounding mountains and over the lake and villlages below. Beside the sky walk is a restaurant with open air dinning which provide a panoramic view of the picturesque surrounding like 3D paintings. A lovely place to enjoy the scenic views photo shooting. Cheers.

Breathtaking views from the top. Kids enjoyed the short journey on the funicular after walking for an hr in Hallstatt. We were fortunate to have a lovely sunny day so some superb photos. We didnt opt for Salt mine and in hindsight, it was a good decision after a long day. We bought the tickets from ticket booth and surprisingly there was no queue. Overall it is recommended but a tad expensive as the Adult ticket is 22 Euros and kids €11 (aged 4-11).

Dear Flyer36851634943,
We offer tickets for just the funicular with access to the Skywalk and the exhibitions in the upper Hallstatt valley without the mine tour. Of course, you can also hike up to the skywalk, which takes approximately 45 minutes depending on your pace. While children under the age of 4 are not allowed within the mines, they are allowed on the funicular, skywalk, and all our other aboveground features.
Unfortunately, space in Hallstatt is a precious commodity, so we are unable to offer a parking lot exclusive to our visitors, but there are paid parking lots nearby that are within walking distance to Salzwelten.
Best regards,

Hello Natalie815,
Usually it is possible to take the trail up to the Hallstatt Skywalk in November, but we cannot guarantee it as trail access can be limited in the case of heavy snowfall. Even in cases of trail closure, the cable cars provide access to the Skywalk within their operating hours.
As for the "stairway to nothing," it is in a different location, at the Dachstein Skywalk.

Καλησπέρα σας, το Χάλστατ είναι ενα μικρό μέρος, οι αποστάσεις δηλαδή δεν είναι μεγάλες. Υπάρχουν 2-3 πάρκιγκ σχεδόν μέσα στο χωριό όπου η απόσταση μέχρι το τελεφερίκ μπορεί να είναι 5-10 λεπτά,χωρίς ανηφόρες και κατηφόρες οπότε νομίζω ότι θα είναι εύκολο για τους ηλικιωμένους.
Το πάρκινγκ είναι επί πληρωμή(γίνεται και με κάρτα): Στο πάρκινγκ 1 όπου παρκάραμε εμείς ήταν 3,5€ η πρώτη ώρα, 5€ η δεύτερη και 8,5€ το τετράωρο. Το τελεφερίκ είναι πολύ εύκολο να το βρείτε, κοστίζει 18 ευρώ το άτομο μόνο για να ανέβεις και να φτάσεις στην πλατφόρμα (Skywalk) και περίπου στα 35 ευρώ τελεφερίκ και αλατωρυχείο. Το τελεφερίκ κλείνει στις 16:30μμ ενώ το Αλατωρυχείο στις 14:30μμ και απαιτείται χρόνος οπότε μάλλον δεν το προλαβαίνετε.
Ελπίζω να σας βοήθησα λιγάκι!

Δεν χρειάζεται κράτηση.
Η απόσταση είναι μια μικρή, 5-10 λεπτά αλλά είναι λίγο ανηφόριτσα.
