      With swing to the Leiteralm. Fun for kids and grown-ups.

        A very unusual lift that is fun.
        The uphill and downhill journey costs 10 EUR.
        You should still have a head for heights

          Get to dizzy heights in no time!
          The ride on the single chairlift from Plars to Vellau is a wonderful natural experience. You slowly float through the vineyards and forests from Algund to Vellau.
          From there you can take the nostalgic basket lift directly to the Leiter Alm - located on the Meraner Höhenweg - at an altitude of 1,550 meters.

              A single journey now costs €9. Nevertheless, the journey is an experience. There aren't many trains like this in Europe anymore.

                This is the valley station of the Vellau-Leiter Alm basket lift. In a green basket, two people are taken to the Meraner Höhenweg at 1,550 meters or to the Hans-Frieden Felsenweg, which is part of the Meraner Höhenweg.

                    We went with the high-rise house to the ladder Alm! Vin there it would be 500 m down to Vellau! We took the train! Great views of the valley!

                          Wonderful area and a fantastic cable car ride too.

                            The elevator goes through the stations pretty quickly. If you are not very good on foot, you should call the staff in good time to slow down the train when getting on or off.

                              The first 600 vertical meters of the tour can be easily done with the wonderfully old-fashioned chairlift from Lagundo to Velau.

                                  A very special kind of "chair lift" ... but you shouldn't be afraid of heights 😊

                                    We did the red one without the cable car and walked up and down for 3 hours. However, I don't think it's a route for children and it was also strenuous.

                                        Vellau is a good starting point for hiking tours.
