Pfänderbahn, Aerial tramway in Bregenz, Austria
Pfänderbahn is a cable car in Bregenz that climbs from the Lake Constance shoreline up a steep mountain slope. The line carries visitors from the valley station to a high mountain point where views extend across the surrounding region.
The cable car was built in the 1920s as a modern way to transport visitors up the mountain. Since then the system has been rebuilt and upgraded several times to maintain safety and performance.
The mountain station features an Alpine wildlife park where visitors can observe local animals including deer, ibex, and chamois in their natural environment.
The cable car operates daily with regular departures and runs more or less frequently depending on demand. Visitors should expect longer wait times during good weather and peak tourist seasons.
The cabins feature windows all around, allowing passengers to look in every direction during the ride. This full view in all directions makes the journey memorable for anyone wanting to see the mountain landscape unfold.
