Summit Cross on Buchensteinwand

Highlight • Summit

The Buchensteinwand is one of the most beautiful panoramic mountains in the Kitzbühel Alps. Even during the ascent, you'll be treated to magnificent views over the Pillersee Valley, but the real highlight is the summit: From here, on a clear day, the view extends as far as the Wilder Kaiser, the Loferer Steinberge, and even the Großglockner. Perfect for a relaxing hike with a truly panoramic experience.

Buchensteinwand Cable Car

Highlight • Rest Area

After you have enjoyed the view from the Jakobskreuz and the Tyrolean delicacies in the mountain inn, you can take the Buchensteinwand cable car back down into the valley.

Adults pay 11 euros for a single journey and children 6 euros. If you take the mountain railway in both directions, you pay 16 euros for adults and 8 euros for children.

Tip: Holders of the PillerseeTal Card can use the cable car for free – and don’t pay anything for the Jakobskreuz on the Buchensteinwand either.
