Hausberg Gondola Lift, Mountain gondola station in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
The Hausberg Gondola Lift is a modern cable system in Garmisch-Partenkirchen that connects the town to a mountain slope. It operates as a continuous loop with cabins departing regularly from the valley station and arriving at the upper mountain station.
An older cableway from the late 1960s was replaced by a new system built in the early 2000s. The upgrade allowed for continuous operation with increased passenger capacity compared to the earlier installation.
The lift connects the town to the mountain and serves as a daily gateway for locals and visitors seeking Alpine experiences. Both groups rely on it equally to access skiing, hiking, and the surrounding landscape quickly.
The valley station sits close to the town center and is reachable on foot in a short walk. The ride takes just a few minutes, though busy times may bring queues.
The system uses many individual cabins that move on a continuous rope and operate at the same time. This design creates frequent departures without gaps between rides, allowing a steady flow of passengers throughout the day.
