Untersberg Cable Car, to 1,776 m

The Untersberg is the mountain that closes Salzburg to the south, on the border with Bavaria. Its cable car leaves from St. Leonhard, in Grödig, and in eight minutes climbs to 1,776 m. At the top you see the city, the Salzach valley and the Berchtesgadener Land; the station has a restaurant and a quarter of an hour's walk takes you to the Zeppezauerhaus hut. From there mountain routes of several hours begin, for anyone with boots and good weather.

The cabins leave on the hour and half hour: from May to September, from 8:30 to 17:30; in January, February and December, from 9:00 to 16:00. From 2 November to 13 December 2026 it is closed for maintenance. Return, €34 per adult, €17 for ages 6 to 14 and €12 for a dog, which goes up on a lead and muzzled. The station car park costs €4 a day, with the first half hour free. If you are not driving, bus 25 comes, heading for Untersbergbahn and passing Hellbrunn: you can combine the two in one day.
