The Reiterkogelbahn is a high-capacity aerial cable car serving as a primary transit link between Hinterglemm and the Reiterkogel mountain ridge in the Salzburg region. It provides direct access to the 'Bauernkogel' and 'Reiterkogel' peaks, functioning as a gateway for both alpine skiing and high-altitude mountain biking. The mountain station sits at an elevation of approximately 1,480 meters. It serves as the hub for the 'Reiterkogel Adventure Trail' and various downhill bike trails including the Blue Line and Pro Line. During the winter, it acts as a critical node for the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn lift network. The installation utilizes modern cabin technology to facilitate rapid ascent for outdoor sports enthusiasts.
