Grubing – Panoramic Cable Car, Nature and Family Experiences

Grubing combines access to the mountains with a variety of experiences for families, nature enthusiasts and winter sports fans. The panoramic cable car takes 12 minutes to reach the Resterkogel mountain station at an altitude of 1,892 metres and, in winter, provides direct access to around 170 kilometres of perfectly groomed pistes as the southernmost entry point to the KitzSki ski area. At the same time, educational trails, viewing points, workshops and historic architecture invite you to enjoy a varied stay beyond the ski day as well.

Mountain Cable Car Experience and Winter in Grubing

The panoramic cable car in Grubing is a two-section gondola lift. For planning your winter trip, the direct access to KitzSki is of particular interest. The approximately 170 kilometres of pistes are a clear focus for visitors who choose their accommodation based on the opportunities available on the mountain. If you are looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Grubing, you can therefore first consider whether your stay should focus primarily on skiing or on a mix of winter sports, nature and family activities.

The panoramic cable car in Grubing provides access to a well-developed hiking area with views of the core area of the Hohe Tauern National Park. At the Resterkogel reservoir, an educational water trail explains the importance of water for the habitat around Resterkogel. A viewing platform there serves as a panoramic resting place and photo spot with mountain views of the Hohe Tauern. In addition to physical activity, these two stops give your time in the mountains a vivid connection with nature.

Educational Trails and Discoveries in the Surrounding Area

Another focal point is located at Hollersbach. The stream nature trail follows the Hollersbach stream to the Wirtsalm and features ten information panels. They explain the birds found along the stream, native fish, the power of water and various types of rock. This means the trail is aimed not only at hikers, but also offers specific topics of conversation for families who want to discover the landscape and nature together. The route should be incorporated into your daily planning according to your personal interests and the desired scope of the outing.

Self-guided visits to the Hollersbach Herb Garden are free of charge; individual guided tours can be arranged on request. Anyone interested in regional plants and their uses will find an independent activity here. The historic character of the area is also evident at the Klausnerhaus. This typically built Pinzgau farmhouse has a rubble-stone wall as well as a wooden upper floor and attic, complementing the nature experiences with an example of regional architecture.

KUHOBA: Creative Activities for Children and Adults

KUHOBA adds its own special touches in Grubing. The KIDS ART WEEK holiday programme is aimed at children aged six and over and takes place for one week each in July and August. The KUHOBA Kids WORKSHOP is aimed at children aged five to ten who play outdoors and takes place on the first Monday of each month. In addition, KUHOBA workshops for children and adults can be booked on request. The KUHOBA workshop regularly offers courses on various topics. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore also consider whether your trip should be shaped more by mountain activities or by creative and supervised activities.

Getting There and Orientation When Choosing Accommodation

The valley station of the panoramic cable car is located in Hollersbach, in the Grubing district. It has train and bus connections and is situated directly on the Salzachtal Cycle Path. More than 600 parking spaces are available at the panoramic cable car for those arriving by car or bus. This information helps you assess Grubing’s location according to your preferred mode of transport without restricting your choice of holiday apartment to a specific feature or property.
