The views during the hike and the funicular ride were breathtaking. Nature was in full display. We saw beautiful green mountains, sparkling lakes that reflected the clear sky, and we could hear distant waterfalls. This made the experience magical. Even though we had to wait a little for the funicular, it didn’t matter because the scenery was too lovely to mind the delay. The Golmersee hike tested our stamina. The paths were twisty and rocky, challenging us at every step. But for those who took on the challenge, it was worth it. Each step brought us closer to amazing views and hidden natural spots, giving us a rewarding sense of achievement. There is a small shop to buy tickets, snacks, and drinks. The toilets are clean too.
Overall, this one’s pretty cool and definitely worth a stop if you’re passing by. The near-vertical 90° up-and-down ride feels like a roller coaster — pure thrill. At the top you can hike around the lake (half or full loop), though when I went the water level was low so it didn’t look its best. Still, the 270° mountain views up there made up for it, even if the snow was a bit thin. Good to know: you don’t have to stick strictly to the time printed on your ticket. If there are empty seats, just let the staff know and they’ll usually let you hop on earlier. The downside: roadwork near the parking area made driving/parking a hassle, and construction of a new viewing platform at the top meant some extra noise.
Amazing experience. You should buy tickets in advance For us it was last moment decision so we could buy one way only On the other hand, it was a nice walk down the mountain
Amazing experience The rail itself is a bit scary but it worth to ride it.You can see stunning view. After the train ride, you can enjoy 2hour hikes. Since the train is limited, it is less crowded in the hiking area.
Interesting experience being pulled up backwards. Great views of the surrounding mountains. Great walk around the dam at the top.
