Rüdesheim Cable Car
Seilbahn Rüdesheim
An open two-person chairlift that climbs from the old town over the terraced vineyards to the Niederwald Monument, covering about 1.4 km in total.
The lower station is in the old town above Drosselgasse, and the chairs skim low over the vineyards, giving wide views. You can buy one-way or return tickets, or a loop ticket that combines the cable car to Assmannshausen, a chairlift and a ferry. The cable car is closed in winter and suspended in strong winds. It is best to ride in the morning to avoid the afternoon tour-group crowds.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:30–17:00 (extended in peak season)
