On July 5, 1926, a new era began with the opening of the Tyrolean Zugspitze cable car: the once "unclimbable" Zugspitze became accessible to mountain enthusiasts from all over the world. Behind this success lies a powerful combination of vision, courage, and initiative. From the very beginning, the railway was not only a bold engineering project but also a significant boost to the region's economic development. Today, a hundred years later, the Tyrolean Zugspitze Railway embodies continuity, technical mastery, and tourism innovation – a legacy poised to shape the future.

Vision since 100 years

The Tyrolean Zugspitzbahn is Tyrol's oldest cable car and Austria's second oldest. Today, the cable car looks back on a lively history.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary, the Interactive Museum on the Zugspitze is being redesigned and makes the history of the Tyrolean Zugspitzbahn impressively tangible. The exhibition offers exciting insights into the history surrounding the Zugspitze, the construction of Tirol's first cable car, and current impressions.
