Wendelstein Cable Car

Wendelstein Cable Car, Aerial tramway in Bayrischzell Osterhofen, Germany.

The Wendelstein Cable Car is a 2,953-metre aerial tramway running from Bayrischzell-Osterhofen up the southwest side of Mount Wendelstein. Its two cabins, built by the Austrian manufacturer Carvatech, hold up to 50 passengers each. The line has a single 75-metre pylon and a maximum ground clearance of 170 metres.

The Wendelstein Cable Car was built by Pohlig-Heckel-Bleichert in 18 months and entered service in 1970, becoming the second mountain railway on Mount Wendelstein after the older cog railway. It opens the mountain from Bayrischzell-Osterhofen along the southwest side. Its cabins were made by the Austrian manufacturer Carvatech, formerly Swoboda.

The cable car is the second mountain railway on the Wendelstein, built alongside the older cog railway that still runs on the mountain. Its cabins were made by the Austrian manufacturer Carvatech, formerly Swoboda, and each holds up to 50 people. The valley station stands at 792 m in Bayrischzell-Osterhofen, the summit station at 1727 m.

The ride is relatively short, so visitors should plan for any wait time at the valley and summit stations. Bring proper footwear if you plan to hike or explore the mountain once you arrive at the top.

The system uses a single tall support tower instead of multiple pylons, which gives it a distinctive visual character. At one point during the ride, the cable spans an extremely wide gap above the ground with nothing underneath.
