Strongly recommend choosing a hotel which gives the all inclusive package for cable cars 🚠 in the region. With this package, the cable car is free and the parking is reduced from 9 to 4 EUR.

The Kanzelwandbahn valley station is centrally located in Riezlern. Plenty of parking is available and the queues are always manageable. Special access for wheelchairs or prams is available on demand. The staff is really professional and helpful.

The ride itself is one of the longest in the region as it brings you right to the top of the mountain. Very picturesque and quiet. Once at the top there is a good selection of paths to go round, up or down. A favourite is the 2 country round trek which crosses the border into Germany and back. When I visited this was not open due to snow. ❄️ ALWAYS check the status of the cable cars and paths online on the day you intend to travel. They have a good overview on their website.

We took path number 5 down the mountain back to Riezlern. It's rated easy and we could manage it even as total amateurs. Just make sure you bring the right shoes 🥾for the trek. You'll really suffer with the false footwear as the invoices are step and the gravel sometimes slippery. At the end of the day, this is the Alps not a side street. 🏔️

Definitely recommend this attraction if in the Kleinwalsertal or Allgäu Region. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
