1951–2026
75 years of the Wallbergbahn
On 20 April, 75 years ago, the Wallbergbahn began operating after just nine months of construction and has been an integral part of the region around Lake Tegernsee ever since. We are marking this anniversary with a range of activities as part of themed months running throughout the year, as well as with a selection of anniversary products.
These were the themed months:
April: A Journey Through Time
April: A Journey Through Time
Prices just like back then. Moments just like in the old days.
To kick off our anniversary year, we’re taking a trip back in time.
At the weekend of 18 & 19 April, we’ll be offering ‘prices just like back then’
On these days, adults pay 5.00 euros for a return journey, children €3.00 – in line with 1950s prices.
On this weekend, there will be no single-journey tickets for either the ascent or descent.
The discounted tickets are only valid on 18 & 19 April 2026.
The following weekend, 25 & 26 April, our guests who turn up in historical hiking attire will receive a discount on the return journey.
In addition, the mountain and valley stations will be decorated with memorabilia from the cable car’s early years.
May: For a good cause
May: For a good cause
You cycle. We donate.
In May, our anniversary year will be dedicated to social engagement. Under the slogan ‘Ride with us for a good cause’ , we will donate 75 cents for every return journey to up to four charitable organisations in the Tegernsee Valley.
Clubs and organisations can apply for the donation by emailing info@wallbergbahn.de. The closing date for applications is 30 April 2026.
Applications do not need to follow a specific format; they simply need to include a brief overview of the organisation’s work and how the donation is intended to be used.

Activities for families and children
In June, the focus is on families. With a range of activities, we’d particularly like to invite our younger guests to join in the celebrations.
We’ll be kicking things off on 1 June with a free admission day for children.
Throughout June, a treasure hunt will be set up on the mountain for families and children to enjoy.
On the morning of 21 June, the Miesbach rescue dog unit will be visiting us with their dogs, and on 27 June, falconer Paul Klima will be with us.

Running, flying, outdoor activities in the mountains
The mountains are a paradise for a wide range of outdoor activities – catering to all tastes. That’s why people love to meet up at the Wallberg to get active.
The Wallberg is a popular meeting place for paragliders. We’ll be showcasing the many facets of this sport in July.
If you’d like to give it a go yourself: there’s a tandem jump to be won in July.
Mountain running will also feature. At a ‘open mountain run’ , we look forward to a lively turnout from individual runners, club teams, groups of friends and so on. Click here to register.
August: Tradition and customs

Music, dance, enjoyment
White and blue clouds in the sky, views of the mountains and the picture-perfect Bavarian countryside – the Wallberg offers you the perfect backdrop for living tradition and authentic customs.
That’s exactly what we’d like to celebrate with you in August. Together with the D’Wallbergern and other local music groups, the month’s theme is: Enjoy! Look forward to atmospheric music, Bavarian cosiness and unforgettable moments amidst a unique mountain backdrop.

Alpine farming – in harmony with nature
The alpine pastures demonstrate how flora, fauna and people have been harmoniously interconnected for centuries. Amidst flowering meadows, crisp mountain air and a diverse array of wildlife, traditional alpine farming is kept alive.
The careful stewardship of the landscape by the alpine farmers creates habitats for many plants and animals, whilst at the same time preserving the mountains’ unique cultural landscape. Up here, it is still all about coexistence – between nature, people and the rhythms of the seasons.
Find out more in September about how alpine farming is practised on the Wallberg.

The mountain as a place of power
Autumn is setting in on the mountain. The days are becoming more peaceful, nature is displaying its most beautiful colours – and we’re taking the time to pause and say thank you.
Thank you for many years of safe railway operations. For the trust placed in us by our guests and business partners. For good business and moments of success. But above all, for our staff, whose daily dedication makes our mountain a special place.
And then, of course, there is the mountain itself: our natural surroundings, our home, our place of renewal. A place where you can recharge your batteries, leave everyday life behind and refocus on what really matters.
In October, we say thank you – and invite you to experience the mountain in a truly mindful way.
