The operation of the cable car has been terminated.
The most common starting point for a trip to Sněžka is the picturesque mountain town of Pec pod Sněžkou (750 m above sea level). The Pec pod Sněžkou – Sněžka cable car is an ideal starting point for your trip from Pec pod Sněžkou, especially in the summer months. The cable car will comfortably take you through the intermediate station on Růžová hora (1334 m above sea level) to Sněžka (1594 m above sea level). In less than half an hour you will overcome an elevation gain of more than 680 m. From Sněžka you can continue along the marked hiking trails towards Luční bouda, Špindlerův Mlýn, Pec pod Sněžkou or Horní Malá Úpa.
The cable car was built as a two-section circulating cable car with two-seater detachable seats. It transports 250 people per hour at a transport speed of 2.5 m/s. From the station Pec pod Sněžkou (890 m above sea level), the travel time to Růžová hora (1354 m above sea level) is 11 minutes, the length of the section is 1560 m and further to Sněžka is 13.5 minutes, the length of the section is 1967 m. More than 50 years of operation have proven that the cable car is beneficial for nature conservation in this locality. Therefore, intensive work is currently underway to prepare the construction of a new cable car.
