We took bus #25 from the center of town to the cable car station. The cars start going up at…read more8:30am every half an hour until about 5pm. The view from atop is breathtaking.
The Untersberg massif, which spans approximately 70 km², is located right on the border with Bavaria.
The Untersberg cable car starts in St. Leonhard near Grödig and leads to the Geiereck, from where we enjoyed breathtaking panoramic views of the Alps and the Salzburg valley area....we loved the views, the fresh air and the whole cable car/gondola experience.
Many people go hiking right off the station at the top. We did not, but we can see how others would enjoy the trails during any of the four seasons of the year.
It is included in the Salzburg Card if you have one.
