    Take the Palfries Bahn up to 1721 m above sea level. The perfect start for hikes.

      The Palfries cable car runs every 15 minutes with two gondolas. There is space for eight people in each. From the mountain station you can hike to the Gonzen and the Alvier.

      Information on opening hours and prices can be found here: seilbahn-palfries.ch.

        On nice days, be sure to make a reservation. Both the ascent and descent are possible.
