150er Tux, Aerial tramway in Tux, Austria
The 150er Tux is an aerial cable car in the Zillertal Alps that connects the valley with the high mountain region. The ride overcomes roughly 700 meters of elevation gain and takes only a few minutes.
The cable car was built in 2001 by Doppelmayr and opened the high mountain area to easier access for skiers. It has since become a key piece of infrastructure serving the winter sports community.
The cable car serves as a gathering point for skiers and mountain visitors during winter months. It marks the beginning of the alpine experience for many people exploring the area.
The valley station sits near the Mittertrett-Alm at 1716 m, the top station on the Wanglspitze summit at 2420 m. The cabins cover the 1799 m between them in 3.6 minutes at up to 12 m/s. Each cabin holds up to 150 people, so expect crowds at peak times.
The 150er Tux was Austria's largest aerial tramway when it opened in 2001, until the Ahornbahn, carrying 10 more people per cabin, took that title in 2006. Its two cabins always travel in opposite directions on separate tracks between the valley station near the Mittertrett-Alm at 1716 m and the summit of the Wanglspitze at 2420 m.
