Frequently asked questions

Can the classic breakfast and the Brettljausen gondola also be booked for more than 4 people?

For reasons of space, the maximum upper limit for the Brettljausen gondola and breakfast gondola is 4 people. For more people we recommend a hearty snack in our service restaurant Wirtshaus am Tuxer Ferner. For groups of up to 6 people, the Bavarian gondola breakfast is also available in the gondola.

How long does the gondola breakfast or the Brettljausen gondola last?

Gondola breakfast:
The boarding time can be chosen between 09.00 and 10.00. After that you can ride as many laps as you want. Experience has shown that most guests have breakfast between 3-4 rounds, with one round lasting around 20 minutes.

Brettljausen gondola:
The boarding time can be selected between 12.30 p.m. and 2 p.m., the last possible exit at the valley station of the 10er Gefrorene Wand Bahn is at 3.45 p.m. In between, you can gondola and snack to your heart's content, with one round (from the valley station to the mountain station and back) taking about 20 minutes.

Do you sit alone in the gondola or with other guests?

The gondola will be reserved exclusively for you and your loved ones. So you don't sit in the gondola with other guests!

Are dogs allowed in the gondola?

We would like to point out that the table in the gondola can sometimes get cramped with a dog. If you think your four-legged friend can get along well in the gondola, you are welcome to bring your dog with you.

How do you get to the breakfast gondola or Brettljausen gondola?

The 10-person Gefrorene Wand Bahn starts right next to the Tuxer Fernerhaus at 2,660m. From the valley station in Hintertux, take the first two gondolas (Gletscherbus 1 or 8-seater Sommerberg and Gletscherbus 2 or 4-seater Fernerhaus) up and then board the 10-seater Gefrorene Wand Bahn directly at the station next to it. The ascent to the entrance to the gondola takes about 20 minutes. Take a look at the 10-seater Gefrorene Wand Bahn here: interactive piste map

Which mountain railway ticket is required?

The gondola breakfast or the Brettljausen gondola can either be taken with the regular ski pass or as a pedestrian with the Fascination Ice Panorama Ticket. The panorama ticket Fascination Ice is also valid for the Gletscherbus 3, so nothing stands in the way of an ascent to the panorama terrace or to the Natural Ice Palace after breakfast or before a snack.

Does the gondola breakfast or Brettljausen gondola also take place in bad weather?

In principle, the gondola breakfast or the Brettljausen gondola takes place in any weather. If it is not possible to operate the 10-seater Gefrorene Wand Bahn due to a strong storm etc., guests with a reservation will be informed of the cancellation on the day of breakfast. In this case, the money will of course be refunded. Otherwise we ask you to observe the terms and conditions, which state that free cancellation is possible up to 7 days before the reserved date, after that 100% cancellation costs apply.
