The cable car that for a hundred years has been taking Viennese people up the Rax: it was the first passenger cable car in Austria. In about 8 minutes it climbs from the valley station, in Hirschwang, to the edge of the plateau, at 1,547 metres, next to the Raxalm-Berggasthof. It leaves on the hour and the half hour. From 5 December 2026 it runs on winter hours, until 16:30; it stops for maintenance from 16 November to 4 December 2026 and from 5 to 23 April 2027. Tickets are bought online, with a discount combined with the ÖBB train. Below there is a playground for the wait.
