Pfänder
A viewpoint mountain behind Bregenz. A cable car takes six minutes to reach 1,064 meters, with views over Lake Constance and three countries.
Pfänder lies east of Bregenz in Austria. The Pfänder cable car takes about six minutes to reach the summit at 1,064 meters. From the summit viewing platform, you can see the whole of Lake Constance and three countries: Germany, Austria and Switzerland. On clear days, about 240 Alpine peaks are visible. At the top there is a wildlife park with ibex, deer and other animals, which is free to enter, along with birds of prey flying displays in summer. You can also hike down the trail, which takes about two hours. The cable car runs roughly 8:00 to 19:00, and a round trip costs about 20 euros. The mountain is in Austria, so bring your passport.
