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.
