Fellhorn Lift, Cable car system in Oberstdorf, Germany.

Fellhorn Lift is a cable car system in Oberstdorf that climbs in two sections from Birgsautal to the Fellhorn summit. The lower and upper stations sit at different elevations, with the peak reaching around 1,967 meters (6,450 feet).

The first cable car began operating in 1972 and has connected the valley to the mountains ever since. The system was later expanded with a second section to carry more passengers.

The lift takes its name from the Fellhorn, the 1,967-metre summit it serves above the Birgsautal valley. Since 2005 the Fellhornbahn GmbH has belonged solely to the Kleinwalsertaler Bergbahn of Riezlern, whose main shareholders are the Allgäuer Überlandwerk in Kempten and the Raiffeisen Holding Kleinwalsertal.

The journey requires reasonable fitness, especially if you plan to hike at the top. Bring warm clothing since it is considerably colder at elevation.

The record belongs to the lower section, Fellhornbahn II, built by Leitner and opened in winter 2006/2007: at 2,813 m it is Germany's longest single-cable gondola lift. Its 8-seater cabins run at up to 6 m/s and carry 2,400 people per hour, and a middle station at about 1,300 m lets passengers board or alight.
