About Pfänder
The Pfänder rises above Bregenz and Lake Constance. The cable car links the town to the high-level walking areas, with views across the shores of three countries.
Visitors find paths and viewpoints that allow them to observe the lake and the Alpine ranges. The extent of the view changes with clouds and fog. A short walk near the station is different from a longer mountain route, which requires consulting the map.
Even on a mild day in town, the summit can be windy and much colder. Check the cable car operation and return times before starting the walk back. Between May and October it is usually easier to combine the ascent with extended time on the summer paths.
