The cable car system was built to connect the valley settlement of Schliersee with higher elevations in the Bavarian Pre-Alps. It has become a key infrastructure for mountain activities and recreational hiking over many decades.
Traditional mountain huts near the upper station serve local Bavarian food and serve as gathering spots for hikers taking breaks during their walks. These establishments offer views across the Alpine foothills while providing a place to rest and refuel.
The cable car typically runs from spring through early autumn and is accessible by public transportation. The nearby train station has connections to local bus lines that go directly to the lower station.
From the upper station, visitors can access the Ruchenköpfe west ridge climbing route, which challenges advanced hikers with exposed terrain. The route is a favorite among climbers seeking a more demanding alpine experience.
