Pfänderbahn
The Pfänderbahn is an aerial tramway in Lochau that carries visitors up the Pfänder mountain in large cabins. The journey takes about six minutes and provides views of the surrounding landscape, lakes, and distant peaks during the ascent.
The tramway was built to provide easy access to the mountain and has served the region for many years. It was designed with safety and reliability in mind, becoming an important part of how visitors experience the area.
The name Pfänder reflects its place in the local landscape and regional identity. Visitors and residents alike use the mountain as a natural escape, making it an important part of how people here connect with the outdoors.
The station is straightforward to access and offers free parking for a few hours near the base. Simply buy a ticket, wait for your cabin, and board - the staff are friendly and happy to answer questions about your visit.
The ride operates environmentally and moves slowly enough for passengers to photograph and observe the landscape changing without missing the view from the windows. This offers a rare chance to experience the climb in complete quiet.
