The SchafbergBahn timetable is very flexible, so that the frequency can be increased during peak demand to intervals as little as 20 minutes apart. Needless to say, this keeps waiting times to an absolute minimum.
Nevertheless, if you want to guarantee a specific departure time, you should go ahead and book your ticket online in advance.
Yes, when you buy tickets either on site or online, you also stipulate your preferred time for the ride back down. If it turns out you need to change that time, you can reschedule at the mountain terminal, Hotel Schafbergspitze or the Himmelspforte.
Reservations are not accepted for rides down from the Schafbergalm. Boarding there is on a space-available basis.
Yes, you may bring your dog with you on the SchafbergBahn cog railway. However, your dog must wear a muzzle and be on a leash, or transported in a suitable pet-friendly container. In addition, dogs require a valid ticket, regardless of the breed or size (except for dogs in a suitable pet-friendly container).
No, prams are not permitted on the SchafbergBahn cog railway. Some of the paths from the mountain station are steep and not barrier-free. However, you are welcome to have our employees at the valley station store your pram for you.
No, bicycles may not be transported on the SchafbergBahn. Bikes are completely prohibited on the mountain.
The walk from the mountain terminal to the Schafbergspitze involves a climb of approximately 50 vertical meters. A nicely maintained path is available for your walk up to Hotel Schafbergspitze and the Himmelspforte.
Wheelchairs can only be transported in the SchafbergBahn if they can be folded very small and the person can sit independently. We cannot load electric wheelchairs because our carriage doors are too narrow. (approx. 52 cm wide) There are 2 steps to climb to get in or out. (approx. 38 cm from the floor to the 1st step board).
From the mountain station Schafbergspitze (station on the Schafbergspitze) to the panoramic view around the Salzkammergut you still need about 15 minutes on foot. Wheelchair users need some strong "helpers" to be able to push a wheelchair all the way to the top. The steep gravel path from the mountain station to the Schafbergspitze is about 300m long and ascending to the Panoramablick. At both establishments there are still some steps / stairs to climb until you are on the terrace or in the restaurant.
Wheelchair accessible WC facilities are available at the valley station of the SchafbergBahn - unfortunately not at the Schafbergspitze, as the WC's are only accessible via many steps.
Tickets for WolfgangseeSchifffahrt can be purchased at the ticket windows located at the boat landings at St. Gilgen, St. Wolfgang Markt and St. Wolfgang Schafbergbahn. You can also purchase tickets as you board the ship. Or you might prefer to take advantage of the online shop and enjoy the convenience of buying your ticket in advance, thereby avoiding having to stand in line.
Advance reservations are only necessary for groups of 20 or more. Please contact us by email to info@5schaetze.at
