What Wikivoyage says about moving around

- Go next You can either drive up (take care in winter) or take the cable car.
- Go next From the parking space/cable car station it's an hour's walk to the summit.
- Go next The cable car station at the mountain's base at Annenheim can be reached by bus or train, though connections are poor.
- Go next Since the Soca valley is actually easier to reach from Villach and Klagenfurt than Ljubliana (Slovenia's capital) it's well worth a day trip if you're hanging around Carinthia for longer.
