Katrin Seilbahn Bad Ischl — Attraction in Bad Ischl

Don’t forget to pay after you park. There are two electric vehicle spots if you have an electric vehicle. Purchase your round trip ticket for the cable car and keep it with you. You’ll need to scan it each time for entry. It’s a 15 minute ride each way by cable car to Katrin. The cable car seats 4 at a time. There’s a platform with great views at the top and restaurant. If you hike down the platform, you’ll see the information cabin. Restrooms are at the bottom and top.

It’s 1400 meters above sea level, with panoramic view of Salzkammergut. Which is an Austrian region of lakes and alpine on the northern edge of the Alps.

By the way, the backpack we bought here is...

When visiting the town of Bad Ischl in Austria, we did not miss this site either. The ascent by cable car to a height of 1640 meters is continuous with amazing views. At the top there are cozy corners to sit, there are restaurants and walking trails for walkers and those who are not. It is highly recommended not to miss it. We were in May 2025, perfect weather for hiking in a couple. For walkers, you can go up and down on foot, which is a bit challenging. When you buy a ticket at the entrance, ask for a daily parking ticket for the car to put above the steering wheel. There are plenty of...
