Rauriser Hochalm cable cars

Bird of prey station with flight demonstrations

The Rauriser Hochalmbahn, a 6-person cable car, takes you up to our "family mountain" Hochalm at 1,780 m in just a few minutes. The bird of prey observatory is located directly at the Hochalm hut. The otherwise so shy owls and birds of prey can be experienced up close here. The behaviour and habits of these partly endangered animals are explained in about 40 minutes. Demonstrations: 11:00 and 14:30.

Gold panning site and mineral world

Immerse yourself in the bygone world of the former gold-mining town of Rauris.

At the middle station next to the Heimalm, it's "Everybody off to hunt for treasure", because gold flakes can be washed out of the water here.

Kings of the air

At the bird of prey show at the mountain station you can get very close to the "kings of the air". Here, eagles, falcons, buzzards and large owls show visitors their flying skills. Falconer Peter Krizan explains the behaviour and habits of the kings of the air at the bird of prey station at 1,780 m.
