Sunrise Gondola on Mount Ahorn

A FASCINATING SPECTACLE OF NATURE AT 2.000 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL

Please note that the last ascent with the Sunrise Gondola has already taken place in 2020.

We look forward to seeing you back in summer 2021!

Every Thursday until September, between 5.15 and 7.00 a.m., the Ahornbahn, Austria’s largest gondola, takes early birds up to the Ahorn Plateau, where they can enjoy the beautiful sunrise from the Zillertal viewing platform over a nice cup of hot tea. As you watch the sun’s rays rise above the peaks of the Zillertal Alps and slowly turn from bluish purple to bright pink to warm gold, you’ll realize that getting up so early was well worth the effort. This fascinating spectacle of nature briefly gives a mystical aura to the mountains of Mayrhofen. There’s no better way to start the day!

Our tip for all mountaineers: Start your hike to the Ahornspitze or the Aschaffenburger Höhenweg early in the morning!
