The Pfänderbahn cable car in Bregenz

Summer

Alpine wildlife park: During a 30-minute walk around the park, you can observe our most magnificent native animal species including deer, alpine ibex, moufflons and marmots.

Hiking: A clearly signposted network of paths on the Pfänder are perfect for a leisurely stroll – and there are plenty of options for more demanding hikers: a hike in the valley (approx. 1 hour), a mountain route taking in three peaks above one thousand metres with the Pfänder (1,064 m), the Hochberg (1,069 m) and the Hirschberg (1,095 m) lasting about 5 hours or the high trail to Scheidegg (approx. 3.5 hours).

Pfänderbahn Museum: The Pfänderbahn Museum tells the story of the Pfänderbahn from the original idea to the present day.

Best view: Visitors can enjoy the best view over Lake Constance from the panoramic terrace of the Restaurant Berghaus Pfänder. The Berghaus Pfänder treats guests with hearty lunch menus, good snacks and home-made cakes.
