Wankbahn, Cable car station in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

The Wankbahn gondola lift spans 3 kilometers across the Bavarian Alps, ascending 1,010 meters from the valley station at 740 meters to the mountain station at 1,750 meters.

The development of the Wankbahn contributed to the transformation of Garmisch-Partenkirchen into a major tourism destination following the 1936 Winter Olympics.

The mountain station features the Wankhaus, operated by the German Alpine Club, representing the strong mountaineering traditions of the Bavarian region.

The gondola operates from March to October between 8:45 and 17:00, with adult tickets costing 26 euros for a round trip and reduced rates for youth and children.

The facility connects to extensive hiking networks and provides transportation for paragliders who launch from designated spots near the mountain station.
