Herzogstand Cable Car, Aerial tramway in Walchensee, Germany.

The Herzogstand Cable Car is an aerial tramway that climbs from Walchensee village up the Fahrenberg mountainside. The ascent takes about four minutes and carries passengers high above the surrounding valleys.

The 1994 cable car replaced a chairlift opened in 1954, built by the South Tyrolean firm Hölzl Seilbahnbau. On 20 March 1955 the chairlift's hoist rope, only superficially inspected, snapped, killing two people and injuring six. The cable car was taken out of service from 8 January to 23 March 2018 for a 500,000-euro renewal of its control system and electrical and safety equipment.

Residents and visitors of Walchensee integrate the cable car into their outdoor recreation activities, particularly during winter sports and summer hiking seasons.

The valley station sits at 809 m in Walchensee (Kochel am See), and the car rises to the Fahrenberg at 1,600 m in four minutes. From the top station, trail 446 leads across the south side to the Herzogstand-house and on toward the summit. An alternative route follows the secured ridge to the Heimgarten.

The summit of the Herzogstand has hosted radio equipment since 1920, and in 1929 Germany's first ionospheric sounding station was set up here. It ran until the end of the Second World War, when a mistranslated telegram asked for a "typical German record" rather than the station's recorder.
