Description: Dear guests,
We are pleased to inform you that the cable car and the mountain and valley stations of the Salzwelten Hallstatt are being renovated. This investment will significantly improve capacity and, above all, comfort for our guests. Please note that cable car operations and the Hallstatt show mine will be temporarily suspended from 1 September 2025.
The new facility will start operating in time for the summer season in June 2026.
During the construction period (1 September 2025 to June 2026), we look forward to welcoming your guests to one of our two other locations - Salzwelten Salzburg & Altaussee - as an alternative.
