Tourism and development
Bad Ischl ( 469 m ) to the Katrinalm ( 1415 m ), a cable car runs. This was opened in 1959 and operated all year round until 2010. In winter there were ski slopes with a length of 6 km. In 1962 the Austrian Alpine Ski Championships were held here. From 2011 the cable car will only be operated in the summer season between May and the beginning of November.
Marked ascent routes start in Bad Ischl at the valley station, in Lauffen, in Bad Goisern (Weißenbach) and at the “Zur Wacht” inn on the main road to Strobl . The Katergebirge can be crossed in an east-west direction from the mountain station over all the ridge peaks to the Ahornfeldalm.
