Absolutely worth it. Stunning views. Last ride up is at 5 pm and last ride down is at 5:30. Cutting it that close isn’t the best because the last ride down at 5:30 will be completely packed with everyone on the cable car so if you have claustrophobia, try to make it down before 5:30. It’s about a 5-8 minute ride to the top so make sure to account for that if you are taking the last ride up.

8min ride up. We used Salzburg card as works out cheaper if visiting other sites. Walk to the 2nd cross on mountain, takes about 30 min. Great views. Wear sturdy shoes, bring a picnic and enjoy the tranquility of the mountain.

Outstanding! The 4 Euro parking ticket is for the entire day! Wooo hooo! You will need your licence plates. Buy the return lift ticket 🎟 last return is 5:30pm or when the weather turns. The lift runs every 30 minutes. They have senior rates. Its is gorgeous going up and up and up! I won't spoil the surprise. Just wow. Whn you arrive step outside in the terrace. Take your photos.

Super! Amazing! It's an amazing cable ride in 1776 m up from sea level. I just love it. When you reach in the up and see the cloud grab you and the cold wind blow, it will blow your tiredness & give mental peace. Free entry with Salzburg card is a great offer for tourists.

A very clean and well maintained cable car station. There is a ticket booth and free bathrooms. If you have the Salzburg card you don’t need to get a ticket, you can scan right in to get on the next car. The ride up took about 8 minutes and gave some great views over the city and surrounding towns.
