Once again awarded as one of the “Best Austrian Summer Mountain Railways”

Quality that lasts – and continues to grow

The Grünberg cable car is once again among the "Best Austrian Summer Cable Cars" in 2025. Following its initial certification in 2023, the Grünberg has now been successfully recertified – thus once again confirming its high quality standards for families, active travelers, and nature enthusiasts.

Re-certification of the Grünberg cable car

This was based on a comprehensive quality audit in which a total of 160 criteria were evaluated on-site by independent experts. The focus was on, among other things, the quality of the experience and variety of offerings, safety and orientation on the mountain, family-friendliness and accessibility, as well as the quality of service and infrastructure.

With an impressive compliance rate, the Grünberg cable car once again fully impressed this year. The further development of the offerings for families received particular praise.

The themed design along the family hiking trail, the lovingly staged Grünberg riddle, and the continuous adventure line for children and their accompanying adults were recognized as successful examples of playful, interactive, and nature-based content delivery.

A heartfelt THANK YOU!

This award is the result of collaborative work and a lot of passion. A big thank you goes to the entire Grünberg team, who, day after day, ensure that our guests experience true quality on the mountain – whether at the ticket counter, on the cable car, on the summer toboggan run, or along the hiking trails.

A special thank you also goes to site manager Rudi, who, along with his team, consistently works to further develop the family offerings and promotes the high standards on the mountain with great commitment.
