Wankbahn Cable Car

The Wankbahn is a modern cable car offering scenic ascents to the Wank mountain, a popular destination for panoramic views and easy hikes. Unlike the more demanding Zugspitze, Wank provides accessible alpine experiences with stunning 360-degree vistas of the Ester mountains, Ammergau Alps, Karwendel, and Wetterstein massif, including the Zugspitze itself. The journey takes approximately 18-20 minutes, covering a vertical ascent of about 1,000 meters from the valley station at 737m to the summit station at 1,780m. At the top, visitors find the Sonnenalm restaurant and a network of well-maintained walking paths. Prices are around 27 EUR for a return ticket for adults. Seasonally available, primarily late spring through autumn, with special winter operations for specific events or good snow conditions for winter hiking.
