Lärchwandschrägaufzug, Inclined elevator in Kaprun, Austria.
The Lärchwandschrägaufzug ascends 431 meters over 820 meters of track length, connecting the Kesselfall Alpenhaus with the Mooserboden reservoir mountain path.
Built in 1952 to replace a smaller 1941 elevator, this transportation system facilitated the construction of the Kaprun hydroelectric power stations in the Austrian Alps.
The elevator represents a significant example of Alpine industrial engineering, demonstrating how infrastructure projects shaped mountain communities in post-war Austria.
Operating from June through October, the elevator carries 185 passengers per trip, with the first ascent at 8:10 AM and final descent from Mooserboden at 4:45 PM.
The structure contains the widest rail vehicle for passenger transport worldwide, featuring a platform measuring 9 meters by 5.4 meters with panoramic viewing areas.
