Discover more about Galzigbahn

The Galzigbahn, located in St. Anton am Arlberg, Austria, is more than just a mountain cable car; it's a gateway to the majestic Arlberg Alps. Since 1937, the Galzigbahn has been a vital link connecting the village of St. Anton with the high-altitude trails and slopes of the Galzig mountain. The Galzigbahn has undergone several upgrades to enhance its capacity and comfort. The most recent renovation introduced a 'Ferris wheel' boarding system. This innovative design employs massive, nine-meter-high rotating wheels to bring the cable car cabins down to ground level, allowing passengers to board and disembark without navigating stairs. This feature significantly improves accessibility for families with strollers, travelers with disabilities, and those carrying heavy equipment. The ascent on the Galzigbahn is an experience. Sweeping vistas of the alpine landscape unfold as the cable car glides upwards. Lush green meadows dotted with wildflowers give way to rugged mountain peaks, often capped with snow even in the summer months. The journey provides access to a wide range of activities. In summer, numerous trails wind through the alpine landscape, offering hiking and mountain biking. In winter, the Galzigbahn provides a direct connection to the larger Ski Arlberg area, one of the largest interconnected ski resorts in Austria. Several charming alpine huts are located near the summit, offering traditional Austrian cuisine and beverages. These huts provide a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a hearty meal or simply relaxing with a drink while taking in the stunning views.
