3S Gondola
3S-Bahn
A three-cable gondola spanning the Saalbach valley, up to about 400 meters above the ground, linking Kitzbühel's ski peaks into one system.
The 3S Gondola opened in 2004. It uses a three-cable system and is about 3.6 km long. It crosses the Saalbach valley, running from the Pengelstein side in Kitzbühel to Ursprung on the Jochberg side. Its middle section is about 400 meters above the ground, making it one of the highest gondolas in the world. The ride takes about 9 minutes and offers views down into the deep valley and across to the Grosser Rettenstein. In winter it connects the KitzSki ski area into one network, making it easy for skiers to move between areas. In summer, when open, it can be combined with mountain hiking. Valid KitzSki ski passes or summer mountain lift tickets are accepted.
