Standseilbahn Rosshütte

Standseilbahn Rosshütte is a funicular that connects the valley station at 1235 meters to the mountain station at 1762 meters along a 2469-meter track. The cable car climbs through the Tyrolean Alps and leads to a mountain restaurant and network of hiking trails above.

The site was originally a horse stable known as Rosshütte before a funicular was built in 1969. This cable car transformed the location from an isolated place into an accessible destination for mountain activities.

The mountain restaurant at the upper station serves regional Tyrolean dishes that connect visitors to local food traditions. Diners sit surrounded by views of Alpine peaks and valleys, making the meal part of the broader mountain experience.

The funicular operates from May through October, when mountain conditions are most favorable for visitors. Wear comfortable shoes since there are hiking trails and uneven ground to navigate after arriving at the top.

A mining-themed playground sits at the middle station where children can learn about the area's past mineral extraction activities. This interactive space reveals what resources were once pulled from this Alpine region.
