Seilbahn Reiteralpe, Military aerial tramway in Schneizlreuth, Germany

The Seilbahn Reiteralpe stretches 2100 meters across the Bavarian Alps, connecting Oberjettenberg to the Reiteralpe plateau with a single support pillar.

The aerial lift system, constructed and put into service in 1965, overcomes an elevation difference of 1036 meters in the Berchtesgaden region.

This transportation system serves the German Defense Technology Department for Protection and Special Technology, supporting military testing and mountain training facilities.

The aerial tramway carries up to 15 passengers or 2000 kilograms of cargo, with the cabin convertible to a freight carrier within minutes.

The cable car system features an exceptional single-span section of 1980 meters, making it one of the longest unsupported cable spans in Germany.
