For more than 120 years, the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn, a narrow-gauge railway, has provided a connection between the communities of the Upper Salzach Valley on the edge of the biggest nature sanctuary in the Eastern Alps. And the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn isn‘t just a special attraction for fans of narrow-gauge railways either. Many of the 40 halts are ideal starting points from which to discover the natural and cultural treasures of Hohe Tauern National Park, the „Pinzgau Grass Mountains“ and the Kitzbühel Alps. The biggest waterfalls in Europe are also within convenient reach thanks to the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn. Modern trains run hourly along the 53 km line between Zell am See and Krimml. Aboard the vintage steam- and diesel-powered trains, you will also be able to enjoy a romantic, unforgettable journey through the wonderful Pinzgau countryside.

High above, in 3.029 metres above sea level and directly at the border to the Hohe Tauern National Park, you can feel alpine nature with all your senses. An alpine experience, which is usually reserved for experienced alpinists on their mountain tours, turns into a leisurely excursion at the Kitzsteinhorn in 3.000 metres above sea level. Reached easily with the comfortable cable cars, the Gipfelwelt 3000 is a popular excursion destination all year round. The view from the viewing platforms "Top of Salzburg“ and "National Park Gallery“ is marvellous. The glaciated peaks of the Hohe Tauern National Park glisten in the sunshine and Austria's highest mountain, the Grossglockner, peeks at eye level through the clouds. Austria's mightiest mountains are at your fingertips here. You can experience the glacier close up on a summerly slide in the Ice Arena below the peak.
We arrived early thinking we would beat the rush, however I’d failed to realise we had gone on a national holiday, and the place was busy at 8.30am. We parked with ease as car park attendants were in place. We joined the line for tickets, about a 5 minute wait, then onto the cable car, again about 5 min wait. Then off up the mountain. The trip up in 3 parts, as it’s to high for one single cable car, so a couple of changes are need on the way up. Each time you get off a cable car, you have to join another line to get the next one. Once you reach the top most cable car house, most people head to the ski slopes, the Gipfelwelt visitors take one more trip, this time on a short funicular railway to the viewing platform. Once there, you can go up and outside to see the spectator views. They have provided a camera, which you can activate a 3 second timer to take a photo of you and your party (this is then download from the website, free of charge) the views are stunning and well worth the trip up. The temperature at the top was -4 degrees and much lower with the wind chill factor, so take a hat and gloves. The building had good heating, so you can pop inside to warm up as needed. A restaurant is also available at the viewing platform, although we didn’t use it, so can’t comment on that. Make sure you take the walk down the “Tunnel” we didn’t know what this was, so decided to go and investigate, its was a pretty steep walk in places, along a man made tunnel, at the other end is another viewing platform on the other side of the mountain, with equally impressive views, it didn’t appear that many people knew about it (although it is signposted) as it was basically empty, with only a few people there, we had it to ourselves for the most part. The trip down was much easier, as the skiers were still amusing themselves, very few people were going down the mountain, so walked straight onto cable cars without waiting. The whole experience from parking until driving away was around 3 hours. I thought the €43 euro entry was well worth it. If you are in the Zell am see region, a really good place to see nature in all its glory.
