The Glungezerbahn is a cable car in the Tux Alps in Tyrol . It was built in 1967 and is located on the Glungezer . The train overcomes 1354 meters of altitude. The lift is divided into two sections (Glungezerbahn I and II) and two intermediate stations, approx. 50 meters apart. The Glungezerbahn I ( Lage ) was a chairlift manufactured by Swoboda from 1967 to 2018 . Since December 2018 performs 10s gondolafrom Doppelmayr in 6.5 minutes from the valley station in Tulfes to the middle station in Halsmarter. It has a sloping length of 1797 m and a delivery line of 960 people per hour. The Glungezerbahn II ( Lage ) is a combination lift and is operated as a single-seat chairlift in summer and as a drag lift in winter .
The valley station is located in Tulfes (Innsbruck-Land district), approx. 8 km from Hall in Tirol and 12 km from Innsbruck. The “Kugelwald am Glungezer” mountain adventure world and the “Alpengasthof Halsmarter” are located at the middle station. Tulfeinalm (2035 m) is located near the mountain station. The next mountain hut is the Glungezerhütte (walking time approx. 1 ½ hours).
From the mountain station of the Glungezerbahn you can take the Inntaler Höhenweg , Via Alpina , the Tyrolean Eagle Walk , the Munich-Venice long-distance hiking trail , the Glungezer & Geier-Weg , the Zirbenweg and the Olympiaweg Garmisch-Cortina and the Glungezer ski area (blue slopes: 7 km, red slopes: 15 km, black slopes: 1 km). The railway established the development of the hiking and skiing area of the mountain on a broad level.
In 2010 the company Fröschl AG sold the Glungezerbahn to the municipality of Tulfes, the Hall-Wattens region tourism association and the agricultural community . The new construction of Section I and Sections I + II as a gondola lift and the construction of a snow-making system have been discussed since 2014 . [obsolete] On December 22nd, 2018, the new Section I of the Glungezerbahn went into operation. For cost reasons, a basement for a ski school and a restaurant in the valley station were dispensed with. The snow-making system was implemented in 2019. For this purpose, a new reservoir with a capacity of approx. 44,500 m³ was created above the Tulfeinalm at approx. 2080 m above sea level. Section II of the Glungezerbahn is to be replaced by a combination lift (10-seater gondola / 6-seater chair) in 2020 .
