Exciting: a voyage with the Mendel Cable Car. And then, the impressive panorama!
64% inclination, so you hope the technology is dependable. And to your relief: the design and construction comes from Swiss engineer, Emil Strub. Opened in 1903, the Mendelbahn is regarded as the first electric powered cable car in Tyrol and is the steepest and longest continous cable car in Europe. A trip up the Mendel mountain is already an adventure in itself. And then, there's the impressive panorama of the Etsch river valley and the South Tyrolean Unterland!
Technical data: course lenght: 2,37 kilometers, travel time: 12 minutes, altitude variance: 850 meters.
Die Mendelbahn fährt alle 20 Minuten von 7 Uhr morgens bis 7 Uhr abends. Die Fahrt kostet 10,00 € Hin- und Rückfahrt, 6 € die Einzelfahrt. Seit Frühling 2009 besitzt die Bahn neue Kabinen sowie eine Mittelstation, wo die zahlreichen Wanderer zum Kalterer Höhenweg gelangen.
