The Pfänderbahn cable car in Bregenz
Bregenz, AustriaThe Pfänder – the mountain overlooking Lake Constance
With its unique views over Lake Constance, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and 240 Alpine peaks, the Pfänder (1,064m) is the most famous vantage point in the area. Whether you are exploring the Alpine wildlife park, enjoying a hike or simply admiring the view from the restaurant terrace – a day on the Pfänder is an unforgettable experience!
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.
Winter
Winter on the Pfänder. Relax and enjoy! For years locals and visitors have fledthe fog of the Rhine Valley to enjoy the breathtaking views and fresh air of the Pfänder. Ski, hike, sledge or simply enjoy the sun on the terrace of the “Pfänderdohle” hut – an outing that will inspire body and mind.
Tip
A convenient way to reach Bregenz is by boat across the lake. The valley station of the Pfänderbahn cable car is only 8 minutes from the harbour on foot.
