What visitors say
The cabin lift is described as spacious, clean and quiet, with helpful staff and enough time to get in and out; it also works with a pushchair or a wheelchair. At the top a walking area towards the Speiereck begins, with a play area with a ball run, an obstacle course and go-karts that goes down well with families. Visitors regard the area as little frequented. In rain, thunderstorms or strong wind the lift does not run.
- · Check the weather before driving to the valley station; in a thunderstorm or a gale the lift is at a standstill.
- · With children: the play area by the top station is a destination in itself.
