This smaller cable car will take you to the top of the Wank (pronouced “Vonk”) for a stunning panoramic view.

At the summit you’ll find two restaurants and a wooden playground. In the summer months, you can expect to see your friendly neighborhood Alpine cows grazing nearby.

This cable car is less than half the price of going up to the Zugspitze at only €26.50, making it a great budget friendly alternative.

There’s some great trails on this mountain including a panorama loop at the top which is suitable for all hikers.

At the base of Wank, you’ll find the Kletterwald, a high ropes course that is super fun for kids and adults!
