The Untersbergbahn is the cable car that lifts from the valley station at Groedig (456 m), south of Salzburg, to the Geiereck summit station at 1,776 meters on the Untersberg mountain in 8 minutes. It is the practical way for visitors to experience the Untersberg, the massive limestone massif that anchors the southern skyline of Salzburg.
The Zwoelferhorn cable car from St. Gilgen rises to 1,522 meters and opens up a panoramic view of the Wolfgangsee and the surrounding Salzkammergut lake plateau that you cannot get from the lake level: water and forests spread below, with the Schafberg, Höllengebirge, and Dachstein glacier visible on a clear day.
