It's about a 9 minute ride to go up. What surprised us is that once you get to the top there's not much there. There's an okayish viewpoint, pricey restaurant and 50 cent paid toilets but no castle. For the castle you need to hike about 20 minutes down over a steep path with sharp rocks and slippery walks. Not entirely safe for little kids. Walking the same way back up is quite a climb. The prices recently have gone up quite a bit. Adults are now 5,50 euro each for a return and kids 3,00 euro each for a return. Kids of 2 or younger are free and can come along. They however don't check for tickets when going down so you could just as well opt for a one way ticket. The walk down from the castle is well doable. Even more doable than the half hour walk back from the castle up to the chairlift. Having said all that, the ride itself is quite nice. My son of 3 loved it. There's free unlimited parking right next to the start of the chairlift so don't park at one of the paid three hour places throughout the village. If you don't care much for the chairlift but just want to visit the castle just drive up to the castle instead. You can park only 5 minutes walking away from the castle entrance.

Such a cool experience! We went with three adults and three kids aged 5,3, and 1. The lift is easily accessible from the road with street parking and a few semi close lots. The Chairs seat two people so we had one kid go with one adult. I wore the 20 month old so she couldn’t have a tantrum and throw herself off. I was concerned we might lose a shoe though - I’d recommend stowing footwear or choosing shoes that can’t slip off like crocs. The lift brings you up to a restaurant and observation deck. Food was ok, nothing great but the view and experience made up for it plus there was ice cream and beer and the staff spoke English. FYI - there IS a trail from the peak to the castle, but it is very steep and slippery and not well marked, though it probably would have been hard to get lost.

The chairlift in Vianden, Luxembourg, offers a serene and scenic ride above the picturesque town and the Our River. The journey provides stunning aerial views of Vianden Castle, the lush valley, and the surrounding countryside. The chairlift is a great way to appreciate the area's natural beauty and offers a unique perspective on the medieval castle, which dominates the landscape. At the top, there's a café and a viewing platform, perfect for taking in the panorama. The ride is smooth and relaxing, making it an enjoyable experience for visitors of all ages. You can get a one way ride from the top or bottom; the most ideal arrangement is going up and walking to Castle and/or through the wilderness. You can take the bicycles up too.

It was my first time experiencing the chairlift. It was amazing! I have fear of heights and I was excited and worried at the same time about how the ride would be and what would happen in case things went downhill. But, the setup was very stable and it was a very slow ride and we enjoyed the view while going up the hill and while coming down. there are two options to select from - one way trip(5Euro for adult) or round about trip(7 Euro for adult). People who take one way trip have the option to either hike down or come via their bicycle. The top of the hill has a breathtaking view of that village in Luxembourg. If I visit the country again, I would definitely go and experience the Chairlift again.

What amaze me about this chairlift is that its trail is leading right above some house and private property. I wonder what kind of house insurance does this house need to have. Just wow. If you want to see the castle, don't go for chairlift. The castle is not situated in the right angle for a view from up of chairlift hill. You can take both ways up and down with this chairlift. Don't hesitate to walk down the hill by foot. I bought return ticket for myself, but the I saw a group of pensioners walking down by foot. If I ever get to Vianden again, I will do that too. And I bet you can also manage.

Such an incredible place. The views are outstanding. We visited early July and there was no queue at all. The little cafe at the top was amazing. Food was lovely and fresh, frozen latte was a little bit disappointing. Was more like mildly cool coffe with caramel syrup. I think mine was a one off so I’m not complaining too much! Was such an amazing place, we made a 6 hour round trip to visit here again from Dortmund 😂 already planning to come back next year!!
