Oberstdorf's Groundbreaking ceremony for the new Walmendingerhorn cable car held

A significant moment for the future of the mountain railways in Kleinwalsertal, the official groundbreaking ceremony marks the start of construction for the new Walmendingerhorn cable car.

After more than 60 years of reliable operation, a modern facility is being built here, combining proven aerial tramway technology with innovative solutions. For guests, this will mean greater comfort, increased capacity, and an even better mountain experience.

Of particular importance is the responsible stewardship of the alpine environment. The new building focuses on sustainable construction methods and modern infrastructure – both for our guests and for our employees.

The design of the new cabins also sends a strong signal for the region with one cabin in the look of the mountain railways, the other in the appearance of Kleinwalsertal Tourismus eGen – a visible symbol of the close cooperation in the valley.

The Walmendingerhornbahn is located in the center of Mittelberg, near the church. Walserbus line 1 - stop Mittelberg.
