The Vallugabahn I is an aerial tramway operated by the Arlberger Bergbahnen AG and offers space for 45 people. The track was built in 1954 by the Steurer company and was last overhauled in 2002. The peculiarities of this railway are the very deep valleys that are overcome with it and the fact that with a length of 3007 m it only stands on two supports. In the film The Black Lightning with Toni Sailer , a scene was filmed in one of the two gondolas of the Vallugabahn. The valley station is in the same building as the mountain station of the Galzigbahn.
