Pyramidenkogel, Carinthia

If that’s too hard for you, you can also take the “Fly 100” cable car, which is also a thrill.
5 Fingers, Salzkammergut
In the middle of the Salzkammergut you will find the 5 Fingers viewing platform, which entices with truly spectacular views. As the name suggests, the platform consists of five differently designed bridges that look like fingers.

Coral on the Steinplatte, Tyrol
There are also some great viewing platforms in Tyrol that are worth a visit. One of them is the “coral” on the Steinplatte near St. Johann. The construction is not for the faint of heart, because it consists partly only of glass – it takes a lot of effort to climb onto this floor! Even the brave among you might quarrel with yourself for a moment.
Top of Tyrol, Tyrol
On the Stubai Glacier in Tyrol you will find the ingenious viewing platform “Top of Tyrol”, which can be easily reached with the Schaufeljochbahn.

The construct protrudes 9 meters over the edge of a rock and is a magnificent sight!
