The Hohe Gjaidstein is a 2794  m high panoramic mountain in the Dachstein Mountains in Upper Austria, east of the Hallstatt Glacier . It can be reached from the mountain station of the Dachstein-Südwandbahn or from the Simonyhütte with easy climbing ( I ). In addition to the Hohe, there is also the Niederen Gjaidstein ( 2482  m ) and the Little Gjaidstein ( 2734  m ).

An early ascent took place in 1823 by de Halley from the north of Gjaidkar. It is not known whether the easy summit has been climbed earlier.
