Schafberg Railway valley station – the new ErlebnisQuartier

Highlight • Rest Area

The trip costs 47.60 per person for ascent and descent - Austria's steepest steam cog railway has been running from St. Wolfgang to the Schafberg since 1893. In 35 minutes it overcomes 1,190 meters in altitude and 5.85 km to the Schafbergspitze. The historic cogwheel steam locomotives are among the oldest operational locomotives in the world. But a trip up the Schafberg is also an unforgettable experience with the modern steam locomotives. The Schafberg is considered the most beautiful panoramic mountain in the world-famous Salzkammergut. When the weather is clear, you have a 360° panoramic view over the glittering lakes of the Salzkammergut and the foothills of the Alps with Lake Wolfgang, Lake Irrsee, Lake Mondsee, Lake Fuschl and Lake Chiemsee.
