Zwölferhorn cableway, Cable car transportation in Sankt Gilgen, Austria.

The Zwölferhorn cableway is a single-cable gondola lift from Sankt Gilgen to the Zwölferhorn. Its 28 eight-person cabins, 14 red and 14 yellow, cover 908 metres of vertical rise to the mountain station at 1,476 metres in about 10.5 minutes. The base station lies southwest of the village centre, and the line crosses the Wolfgangsee Straße (B 158).

The original cableway opened on 30 June 1957 as a two-cable circulating gondola of the Girak system, a variant of the Wallmannsberger design. It was the last operational cable car from the 1950s, the pioneering era of Alpine tourism, and carried about 8.5 million passengers before closing on 31 December 2019. A new single-cable gondola by Doppelmayr/Garaventa opened on 23 October 2020.

The 2020 cabins keep the old livery: 14 red and 14 yellow, a nod to the 1957 Girak two-cable gondolas. At the top station, the Panoramarestaurant Das Zwölfer serves guests, while the Zwölfer Shop sits in the valley station. The cableway also carries paragliders, with two launch sites near the summit facing north and south-east.

The cable car operates daily with frequent departures and offers parking at the base station. Weather at altitude can change quickly, so bring appropriate clothing regardless of conditions down in the valley.

The 2020 cableway's 28 eight-seat cabins are painted 14 red and 14 yellow, a deliberate nod to the colours of the original 1957 gondolas. The drive with 572 kW sits in the mountain station, reached by a 30 kV underground cable laid for the rebuild.
