Galzigbahn, Mountain gondola lift in St. Anton am Arlberg, Austria

The Galzigbahn is a large-cabin gondola lift in St. Anton am Arlberg, Tyrol, linking the village center directly to the Galzig mountain station. Each cabin holds several dozen people and travels along two carrying cables, rising from the village through forest and into open alpine terrain.

The first Galzigbahn opened on 19 December 1937 as the first mountain lift on the Arlberg, running from 1304 m to 2080 m with two cabins of about 30 people each and a capacity of 120 per hour; it carried 60,000 people in its first year. Rudolf Gomperz championed its construction; he was deported in 1942 and murdered at Maly Trostinez. Waagner-Biro renovated the line in 1964, raising capacity to 700 per hour. The funitel built by Doppelmayr opened on 9 December 2006.

For most skiers heading out from St. Anton, this lift is where the day on the mountain begins, and the lower station fills early with people preparing their gear. The shared ride up gives a first look at the scale of the Arlberg terrain before anyone reaches the top.

The lower station stands in the western part of St. Anton's village center, at 1320 m, next to the valley station of the four-seat Gampenbahn chairlift. The ride to the 2086 m mountain station takes 9:14 minutes. The station's glass facade lets you watch the cabins being lowered onto the boarding level before you step in.

The Galzig summit station sits at a crossing point where several lift lines from different valleys meet, meaning riders can continue in multiple directions without taking another uphill connection. This makes the station more of a hub than a simple endpoint on the mountain.
