The Kaiserlift Kufstein takes you from the nature-bound fortress city up into the Kaiser Mountains nature reserve. Thirty minutes to switch off, relax and enjoy yourself. Observe the changes in the natural Tyrolean landscape meter by meter. The history of the Kaiserlift goes back to 1970. In 2014/ 2015 the summer cable car was completely renovated and revitalised.
