Ankogelbahn, Cable car system in Mallnitz, Austria.

Ankogelbahn is a cable car system in Mallnitz that transports visitors from the valley to Ankogel peak at 2636 meters elevation. The journey unfolds in two sections with multiple cabins that work together to provide continuous access to the summit.

The Ankogelbahn was built by VÖEST: the first section opened on 19 December 1965, the second on 4 June 1966. In 1994 the company WAAGNER BIRO rebuilt the pendulum lift into a group pendulum system. Ownership passed from the Kärntner Bergbahnen to the Schultz Gruppe in 1991, to the Tatry Mountain Resort Group from 2019 to 2025, and since 2025 to the Ankogel Bergbahnen BE GmbH, held by Croatian investors.

The top station is named Hannoverhaus after the Alpine Club hut just below it at 2566 m, run by the German Alpine Club section of Hanover. The hut and the lift share the name of the Hanover section, a reminder that German mountaineering clubs built much of the infrastructure here. The valley station sits in Mallnitz at 1281 m.

The lift runs in two sections: the first from the valley station at 1281 m to the Hochalmblick middle station at 1945 m, the second on to the Hannoverhaus top station at 2636 m. The first section spans 1808 m with a single support, the second 2387 m with two supports. The Hannoverhaus, an Alpine Club hut at 2566 m, stands just below the top station.

The system uses an unusual setup: the first section runs two cabins while the second section operates three cabins. This particular design allows the lift to maintain consistent frequency even as mountain conditions and visitor demand change throughout the day.
