Rüfikopfbahn Cable Car
The Rüfikopfbahn is a pivotal cable car in Lech, offering stunning panoramic views and access to a diverse range of ski slopes in winter and hiking trails in summer. It ascends from Lech (1,444m) to the Rüfikopf mountain station (2,350m) in just a few minutes. In winter, it opens up access to 'The White Ring' ski circuit, one of the world's most famous and challenging ski routes. In summer, the mountain station is the starting point for numerous high-alpine hikes, including the Rüfikopf Panorama Trail and routes leading towards the 'Steinernes Meer' (Stone Sea). The cable car features a restaurant with a sun terrace at the summit, offering an ideal spot for refreshments. It operates roughly from early December to late April for winter, and mid-June to early October for summer, with varying daily hours. A standard return ticket costs approximately €25-€30, but is included in valid ski passes or the Lech Card during summer.
