Overlooking the turquoise blue lakes, rolling green hills, and Alpine peaks in the distance stands Aussichtsturm Pyramidenkogel, an observation tower 847 m (2,779 ft) tall. The unusual structure originated in 1950, but later evolved to its current state, made of wood and steel. Hard to miss, the tower's corkscrew design appears a bit wobbly and is topped by three observation platforms at varying heights. Ascend by spiral staircase or glass elevator to any of the three platforms. The interior of the tower features a tube slide, so grab a potato sack and slide on down to the bottom. There, you'll find a full restaurant where you can refuel.

Amazing view and we were lucky enough to experience it just as the fog over the lakes was dissipating. I must recommend taking the slide to the bottom. :D However we were extremely disappointed by...

Great place, absolute must visit in this area. easy access by car with planty of parking space. you can get up but elevator or by stairs if you are not totally of out shape stairs up are doable also with small kid. on top you have 3 open floors with panoramic view on one side towards the lake and the other towards mountains. both breath taking. depending on the weather you visit you will have views far, far, far. on a bad days you still have the possibility to use the indoor area where you are covered from the weather and still have great views. way down you can go by lift, by stairs or slide down which is amazing and not scary at all. on the ground there is a children playground with a small coffee and souvenir shop. everything can be payed by card. toilets are for free. Highly recommend

A nice attraction from which you can admire the beautiful surroundings in good weather. The price is relatively high, but at least you can get a discount for students, for example. The slide was unfortunately not in operation but would have cost more money. The souvenirs were unfortunately also very overpriced. Otherwise, you can sit down in the restaurant and have a good meal at the end.

Great view from the top, if you pay extra you can go down with the slide. You can also walk up... Very nice souvenir shop at the ground floor.
