With the Gipfelbahn Hochwurzen, you reach 1,852 m above sea level, where you can enjoy a unique all-round view and find the starting point for countless hiking routes. A special tip is the Bankerlweg on Hochwurzen. True to the motto “Take a seat on a bench, switch off and enjoy the far-reaching views”, 25 original seating areas along the circular trail invite you to rest and pause. The leisurely walk takes around one hour, with no major changes in elevation, along shady, romantic forest paths until you reach the mountain station of Gipfelbahn Hochwurzen again.
Mountain GoKarts
It’s a fast ride down to the valley with the Mountain GoKarts on the 7-kilometre forest road – a great experience for the whole family. The Mountain GoKarts can be rented directly at the valley station of Gipfelbahn Hochwurzen in the Ski Lenz sports shop. After a short briefing by the trained team, you ride from the mountain station of Gipfelbahn Hochwurzen down the 7-kilometre route into the valley.
Ride time: approx. 20 to 30 minutes.
