Here the backcountry-skiing starts:
1) ski up to Kaserne Oberwald (military) - head south, staying east of the mountainrange connecting Taubenkogel and Niederer Gjaidstein - be aware of dolines in this area !!! - the path turns a lot and you ski up and down over little cols - usually poles show you the path which is not always evident - head on south until you reach 2150m (Niederer Gjaidstein is now west of you)
2) head SW until you reach a chair-lift - ascent to the top of the lift - you reach  Schladminger Gletscher (glacier) - ascent to the col Gjaidsteinsattel (2600m)
3) traverse Hallstättergletscher heading W to reach the foot of Hoher Dachstein at 2800m - there may be crevasses ascending to the start of the rock-part - to climb the summit (2993m) you will have to climb up snow-covered rock graded PD+/ AD-
