Ride up with the historic small cable cars and enjoy the view of Bannalpsee.

Behind Oberrickenbach, you travel with the two historic small cable cars via Ober Spies to Sinsgäu. It's a blessing that such "Schiffli" are preserved, a real, safe experience to ride the open cable car up to 1600 meters. After a hike to Bannalp, you can enjoy the view of the crystal-clear and deep blue Bannalpsee.

Directions

Oberrickenbach – Sinsgäu – Haghütte – Chrüzhütte - Bannalpsee – Oberrickenbach

After the adventurous ride, it goes to the Haghütte. Here alpine cheese is made in summer and a snack is also served on the small terrace. Through the Bründliwald the path then leads up to the alpine farm Chrüzhütte. Children then love the "Zwärgliweg", where it is about the secret of the sparkling stone. From here or from Bannalpsee, an aerial cable car each goes back to Oberrickenbach. The cable cars are not included in the time calculation; the indicated time is the pure walking time.
