Single Chairlift

Vordernberg

The nostalgic single chair lift brings hiking and nature enthusiasts comfortably to the Polster and opens up magnificent views of the Erzberg and the surrounding mountain world.

The single chairlift at Präbichl is the ideal entry into the impressive mountain world surrounding Polster. During the approximately twelve-minute ride, about 600 vertical meters are overcome. The mountain station is located at just under 1,800 meters above sea level and offers an impressive view of the Erzberg and the surrounding peaks.

From the mountain station, numerous marked hiking trails of varying difficulty lead further. Possible tour destinations include the Grießmauer, the Leobner Mauer, and the Trenchtling with the Hochturm. Cozy stays in the mountain world can also be combined with the lift ride. Options for refreshments include the Polsterei, the Leobner Hütte, and the Gsollalm.

The lift operates during the summer season on selected days and is weather-dependent.

Current operating times, prices, and special rides can be found on the website of the Präbichl Bergbahnen.
