Today we drove to Bezau (valley station 690 m above sea level) to take the cable car from there via the Sonderdach middle station to the Baumgarten mountain station (altitude 1,630). There was about 10 cm of fresh snow overnight and we were able to enjoy the panoramic circular route in the snow with a wonderful view.
