Grünbergseilbahn, Aerial lift in Gmunden, Austria.

The Grünbergseilbahn is an aerial cable car in Gmunden, Upper Austria, running from a valley station at 431.7 m above sea level up to the Grünberg at 981 m. Since 2014 it has operated as a large-cabin pendulum lift along the route of the earlier circuit gondola, with two cabins travelling on separate track axes. In the valley station the two track centre lines are only 90 cm apart, widening to 10.25 m at the first support.

The first cable car on the Grünberg opened in 1957 and ran for decades as the main link between Gmunden and the mountain. It was shut down in 2013 and replaced by the current system, which opened in 2014.

The valley station lies at 431.7 m above sea level and the mountain station at 981 m, a height difference of 539.3 m. The line is operated by Traunsee Touristik GmbH, a subsidiary of the OÖ Seilbahnholding, which belongs to the province of Upper Austria. The 2014 Pendelbahn was built for about 10 million euros, funded through the province via the holding.

The ride to the top takes only a few minutes, making it a good option even for visitors with limited mobility. Conditions at the summit can be noticeably cooler than in town, so it is worth bringing an extra layer regardless of the season.

The 2014 cable car was built for about 10 million euros, funded by the province of Upper Austria through the OÖ Seilbahnholding. Because space at the valley station is tight, the two track centre lines are only 90 cm apart there, widening to 10.25 m at the first support. Automatic sliding platforms bridge the varying gaps between gondola door and platform.
