The Austrian skier secured a place in the big final by beating Corinna Boccacini of Italy in the semis.
Dujmovits would face off against Anke Karstens of Germany, who defeated compatriot Amelie Kober in her semi-final race.
In the big final, Dujmovits trailed Karstens by 0.72 secs after their first run, before a slip in the second run caused the 26-year-old to fall further behind.
However, the Austrian managed to compose herself, while Karstens proceeded to coast for the remainder of the course, and as it was, Dujmotivs pipped her rival at the line by 0.12 seconds to seal the gold.
Meanwhile, Kober secured the bronze medal by beating Boccacini in the small final.
