The tour
There is a reason why the Dachstein is also called "Austria's Touring Eldorado". Over 20 ski tours, crossings, and steep descents can be tackled from the Dachstein Gondola Mountain Station and Ramsau.
Turn-by-turn directions

Ascent: take the ski trail to the top, past Dachsteinhaus and Brandalm and enjoy breathtaking views of the Dachstein Südwand on the way. Leave the ski trail about 300 metres after Brandalm and walk through the overgrown alpine pasture up to the Brandriedel (ridge). From there, via Kraml-Lahn/"Gamsfeldgassl" back to your starting point. Descent: same as ascent or via the Kraml-Lahn (note: steep, backcountry terrain, snow conditions and danger of avalanches!) back to Gasthof Edelbrunn. 

Variant: take the ski trail up to Türlwandhütte/Dachstein Gondola Bottom Station and onwards to Lehnachriedel.
