Fancy a new mountain experience? For beginners and sporty families, the Schützensteig on the Jenner is the first choice. Young, sporty, mountain-loving: Sophia and Emeran enjoy being out and about in the mountains. After their first experience in the climbing garden, the two want to try their hand at a via ferrata for beginners. On the small Jenner mountain near the Jennerbahn mountain station, the two made their first ascent on the Schützensteig - and discovered a new passion. You can hire via ferrata sets from the sports store in the Jennerbahn valley station. "The advice and the sets with the perfectly fitting climbing harness were important, so we always felt [...]

The cable car ride to the Jennerbahn mountain station at 1,800 meters takes 20 minutes. After leaving the gondolas on the mountain, most visitors remain rooted to the spot. The mountain world and the sublime feeling of standing in the middle of the peaks of the Berchtesgaden Alps are too impressive. The direct route to the sun terrace of the Jenneralm is tempting - but we recommend taking the time to walk around the mountain station first. Here you can enjoy magnificent views and great photo opportunities. The trail is visibly signposted with "360°" and can be accessed from anywhere. At the mountain station, the signs first lead westwards to the new [...]

Panoramic hike with two cable cars I confess: I may be an employee of the Jennerbahn, but I'm also a real fan of the Obersalzbergbahn. The little red gondolas from 1949 have a wonderful touch of nostalgia. They take their passengers comfortably up to the Carl-von-Linde trail, a high-altitude hiking trail that connects the Obersalzberg documentation with the Scharitzkehl alpine pasture in front of the Göll west face. The mostly well-shaded forest path leads along the slopes of the Obersalzberg and repeatedly offers wonderful views of the valley. If you can manage a few climbs on the mostly flat trail, we recommend the hike from the Obersalzbergbahn mountain station to the Jennerbahn [...]

Insights behind the scenes. How exactly does the new Jennerbahn work and how does it differ technically from the old one? We want to answer these questions today and give you an insight into the technology of the Jennerbahn. "The old valley station was my birthplace, nursery and playground," says our deputy operations manager Max Bosch. He is deeply rooted in the Jennerbahn, his father worked for over three decades as operations manager and board member at Berchtesgadener Bergbahn AG. Max therefore came into contact with the cable car at an early age. After vacation jobs and weekend work, he has been a permanent employee since 2006 and deputy operations manager since [...]

A visit to Sabine Straten-Beiwinkler in the Jennershop. Today we visit Sabine at her unique workplace in the Jennershop at 1,800 m above sea level. Sabine probably has one of the most promising jobs and is happy to come here every day. "I enjoy the gondola ride up every day. It's simply wonderful and different every day. Yesterday, for example, I saw two chamois," Sabine enthuses. Born in Munich, she has lived in Berchtesgaden since 2016. Sabine has loved the mountains all her life. "We often went on vacation in the mountains when I was a child. I've always been fascinated by nature and the landscape," says Sabine. Since summer 2019, the [...]

The path from the mountain to the valley Leisurely hike from the summit cross down to the valley Once you arrive at the valley station, you first take the panorama gondola up to the mountain station. Riding the gondola feels like you're floating above the ground - the tension builds, you get higher and higher and then you reach 1,800 m altitude. From there, a signposted path leads to the summit of the Jenner in around 15 minutes. Once here, the entire length of the Königssee stretches out at your feet and you can marvel at the Watzmann-Empor from there. Return to the mountain station the same way. In good weather, you [...]
