The region’s cable cars
Once indispensable, now convenient
Today, the cable cars take you to the hiking and skiing areas in both summer and winter. However, cable cars have existed in the Großes Walsertal for ages. In the past, they were indispensable in this valley with its steep mountain slopes and remote farms, transporting locals and products.
Sonntag-Stein
Opposite the biosphärenpark.haus is the valley station of the Sonntag-Stein cable car. The small cable car takes you to Sonntag-Stein in just a few minutes - in both summer and winter. A little recommendation: The end of a day on the "Ste" can be rounded off perfectly at any time of year with a stop at a mountain hut.
Faschina
Here, on the Faschinajoch, at 1,500 meters above sea level, you can clearly feel the quiet, family atmosphere. In just a few minutes you are at the cable cars from every doorstep in Faschina, and it goes straight to the top. In winter to the family ski area and in summer to the hiking area. The rocky, rugged Rote Wand (2,704 m) can be seen from everywhere. The view is a unique natural spectacle at sunset. But not only then.
Raggal
With its gentle slopes, the Raggal ski area offers ideal conditions for families and beginners. A T-bar lift and a practice slope ensure carefree skiing fun. Thanks to its location in the Großes Walsertal biosphere reserve, you can enjoy winter sports in a peaceful and natural environment.
Schnifner Bähnle
Schnifis lies on the sunny side of the Walgau. Here you can enjoy the summer sun as well as the winter sun. When stopping for a bite to eat, hiking and biking. For thrill-seekers, the Schnifisberg is the ideal place for paragliding. The crowning glory is the view of the surrounding mountain panorama and the Walgau with its many houses below you.
