Cable Cars Near Munich | 6 Guides

The Bavarian Alps are laced with cable cars, gondolas, and cogwheel railways that lift visitors from valley floors to mountaintop panoramas without breaking a sweat. Our cable car guides cover the engineering marvels that make high-altitude experiences accessible—from the Zugspitze cable car ascending to Germany's highest point to smaller systems serving local ski areas and viewpoints. We explain what awaits at the top of each ride, which offer the most dramatic scenery, where to find excellent mountain restaurants, and how to combine cable car rides with hiking for the perfect mountain day.
