Cable Car to Schwarzsee

We walked to the cable station (opposite side of town to the railway) and took the gondola that goes to Glacier Paradise part way up to Schwarzsee.  We did not realises it was so late in the day with the late setting sun so did not have a lot of time.  Did a bit of wander then had to make sure that we did not miss the last gondola down again.  All a bit scary when the gondola stopped and we swayed hanging there.  Saw buck and sheep.  We could have spent longer up at the Schwarzsee, there were interesting places to walk to.  In winter it is an important skiing spot.

  • The good and the bad
    • Could have spent longer
    • Quite a scary ride
    • Plenty of places to walk to from the stops
    • A bit exposed to the weather
    • Expensive
