How locals move

Getting around Ferlach the local way

  • Go nextYou can either drive up (take care in winter) or take the cable car.
  • Go nextFrom the parking space/cable car station it's an hour's walk to the summit.
  • Go nextThe cable car station at the mountain's base at Annenheim can be reached by bus or train, though connections are poor.
  • Go nextSince 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.
