Horbergbahn, Cable car station in Schwendau, Austria

The Horbergbahn cable car extends nearly four kilometers from the Zillertal Valley floor to the Zillertal 3000 skiing area in the Tuxer Alps.

Between 1924 and 1926, the current cable car route followed the path of an industrial railway that transported materials from the Tux magnesite mine.

The winter sports facility connects to 142 kilometers of prepared slopes, reflecting the strong skiing heritage of the Tyrolean mountain region.

The cable car system contains 126 gondolas supported by 24 towers, operating at 6 meters per second to transport 2,600 passengers per hour.

The lower section of the ski route presents a gradient exceeding 50 percent, making it a technical challenge for winter sports enthusiasts.

Location: Schwendau

Part of: Zillertal 3000
