Tyrolean Zugspitze Cable Car

The Tyrolean Zugspitze Cable Car travels 3,601 meters from the valley station at 1,234 meters to the summit station at 2,951 meters elevation.

Adolf Bleichert & Co. of Leipzig constructed this transportation system in 1926, making it the first cable car providing access to the Zugspitze summit.

The cable car stations incorporate Tyrolean architectural elements and offer regional dining options featuring traditional mountain specialties from the Alps.

Each cabin carries 100 passengers with a transport capacity of 730 persons per hour, completing the journey in under 10 minutes at 36 kilometers per hour.

The system operates on dual track ropes measuring 62 millimeters in diameter and requires 1,000 kilowatts of power generated at the valley station.
