Rack railway · 40 min climb · return from €45 · daily from May to 1 November

The Schneebergbahn has climbed since 1897 from Puchberg to the Schneeberg, the highest mountain in Lower Austria. Today it is done by the Salamander trains, with panoramic carriages, which in 40 minutes leave the valley meadows behind, stop at the Hengsthütte and at Baumgartner and end at Hochschneeberg station, at 1,800 metres. They run daily from 1 May to 1 November, with departures from Puchberg at 9:00, 10:30, 12:00, 14:30 and 16:00, and more if it is busy. Places are limited: buy your ticket online, and choose the FLEX if you want to be able to change the time. In November and December there are only special trips to the middle of the mountain.
