After more than 60 years, an era will end at the Walmendingerhorn after the 2025/2026 winter season. This cable car has accompanied generations of locals and visitors, taking them to the mountain for unforgettable experiences.
Every ending also marks a new beginning. The modernization at the Walmendingerhorn is all about greater comfort, quality, and accessibility.
Our guests can look forward to:
Unforgettable views thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, similar to those on the Fellhorn cable car.
More comfort for strollers, wheelchairs, or sports equipment thanks to barrier-free access.
A mountain experience without long waits thanks to increased capacity.
The Walmendingerhorn cable car is scheduled to reopen on December 24, 2026.
The construction diary for the new Walmendingerhorn cable car
Following the modernization of the Fellhorn cable car I: https://www.ok-bergbahnen.com/unternehmen/qualitaetsmassnahmen/modernisierung-fellhornbahn/ and the revitalization of the Möser cable car: https://www.ok-bergbahnen.com/unternehmen/qualitaetsmassnahmen/sanierung-moeserbahn-i/, a key connection in the Fellhorn-Kanzelwand two-country ski area, the next major investment is planned for the Walmendingerhorn. With the investment and modernization program "OK in Motion," the Oberstdorf Kleinwalsertal mountain railways are consistently pursuing their path toward sustainable tourism development.
Our mountains are a valuable natural, living, and economic space for all of us. Therefore, we treat them with great respect for nature and with the aim of making tangible improvements to what already exists. This way, you and we will continue to benefit from this special region for many years to come.
With the new Walmendingerhorn cable car, we are realizing a long-planned project close to our hearts to strengthen the region. This will ensure you can continue to reach our "relaxed" mountain safely and reliably in the future. We are acting with careful consideration – and take our responsibility for the landscape, our region and its inhabitants, as well as future generations, very seriously.
The Walmendingerhorn – an experience even without the cable car
While we're busy building the new Walmendingerhorn cable car, you can still enjoy beautiful days on the mountain. Various hiking trails, alpine pastures, and viewpoints remain accessible despite the construction. This summer, simply enjoy the diverse flora of the Walmendingerhorn on foot.
