Hiking
From Handeck, the climb is steep and swift to Lake Gelmer. From there, there are great hiking opportunities around Lake Gelmer (including the Gelmerhütte).
For those feeling brave, you can take the cable car back. Alternatively, you can also take the beautiful hike via "Chüenzentennlen" back to Handeck to complete the circular hike.

Hiking
An incline of 106 percent makes it the undisputed steepest open funicular in Europe. The former works railway for the transport of construction material, which weighs tons, is a marvel of technology and offers an unforgettable mountain railway experience. Once at the top, we recommend a walk around the wild and romantic Gelmersee or a hike up to the Gelmerhütte.
