Kanzelwandbahn, Aerial lift system in Riezlern, Austria
Description
The Kanzelwandbahn is a cable car in the Kleinwalsertal that carries visitors from the valley floor up to alpine heights. The modern facility has mountain stations with access to hiking trails, ski runs, and a climbing route.
History
The cable car was built to connect the valley with higher elevations and expand winter tourism in the region. It has shaped the recreational offerings there since its opening.
Culture
The cable car links two countries, allowing visitors to move between Austria and Germany while hiking or skiing across the mountain. This cross-border location shapes the experience and creates opportunities for activities spanning both sides.
Practical
The facility is walkable from the valley and operates year-round, with different activities depending on the season. Winter offers easy access to ski runs, while summer brings hiking and outdoor adventures.
Did you know?
The climbing route at Kanzelwand runs directly along the Austria-Germany border, allowing climbers to cross between countries while scaling rock walls. This makes the route an unusual cross-border adventure.
