With ease on the fortress Hohensalzburg, in winter as in summer! The modern funicular takes you from the heart of Salzburg's Old Town in just 54 seconds directly to the striking landmark of the city. The panorama is unique and offers fantastic views of the city of Salzburg and the mountains. The fortress railway runs every ten minutes.

The oldest funicular in Austria (1892).
Base station 437 m, mountain station 536 m, railway length 200 m.
