Zugspitze Glacier Cable Car, Mountain cable car in Grainau, Germany
The Zugspitze Glacier Cable Car traverses a distance of 1,000 meters from Zugspitzplatt plateau to the mountain summit at an elevation of 360 meters.
Built in 1992 by South Tyrolean company Hölzl Seilbahnbau, this cable car system replaced earlier transportation methods to reach Germany's highest mountain peak.
The cable car stations feature exhibitions about the mountain railway development, presenting the engineering progress of German mountain transportation systems.
Two cabins transport 100 passengers each, operating with dual 210-kilowatt motors at the valley station and moving at speeds reaching 38 kilometers per hour.
The cable car operates without intermediate pylons, using two carrying cables of 50 millimeters diameter and a hauling cable of 34 millimeters diameter.
