    Untersberg mountain

    Discover the Untersberg mountain and get a life time of magnificent moments on the highest mountain next to the city of Salzburg.

    Untersberg

    Discover the Untersberg, the holy mountain of Salzburg and as described by his Holiness the Dalai Lama: the heart chakra of mother earth and brother of holy Kailash, the crown chakra.At the beginning of the 20th century a connection between the City of Salzburg and Untersberg was planned by means of a postless "monster cable-car". After 1945, after the stabilization of the economic conditions in Austria, the plan could be realized. In 1958 the Untersberg cable-car Society was founded, in 1959 construction started and in 1961 the opening followed.

    The Untersberg cable-car (UBB) is operated by a two-cable system and runs in shuttle-traffic. The UBB, from a technical point of view, reaches several peak values in comparison to other cable-cars within the Alps: Exceptionally large difference in altitude of 1320 m, largest distance from the ground 286m, and an enormously long free-hanging span of 1.548 km between the valley station and post I. Open daily from 8.00 am to 5 pm.
