Hallstatt Funicular

Also known as Salzbergbahn Hallstatt

The Salzbergbahn is the funicular that connects Hallstatt village at lake level to the salt mine and Skywalk viewing platform 360 meters above. The journey takes about 3 minutes and arrives at the mountain station where both the prehistoric salt mine and the Welterbeblick (World Heritage View) platform are accessible.

The Salzbergbahn funicular connects Hallstatt village to the salt mine and Skywalk viewing platform 360 meters above, a 3-minute ride. Without it, reaching the mine requires a steep 30-minute hike. The combo ticket including the funicular, salt mine, and Skywalk is the recommended way to experience the mountain above the village. The funicular station is at the south end of Hallstatt’s lakefront; check salzwelten.at for current prices and hours. Book the salt mine ticket in advance in high season.
