Station Hochschneeberg

At 1800 meters above sea level, the impressive Hochschneeberg station on Schneeberg opened in 2009. The architecturally impressive station was designed to be barrier-free, with ramps facilitating boarding and alighting from Salamander trains where necessary. The on-site sanitary facilities are also barrier-free.

The Berghaus Hochschneeberg is directly connected to the station and offers culinary delights to underline the fantastic view. The mountain hotel, which was built in 1898, is also a popular starting point for hikers or a stop for refreshments on many a circular hike to the numerous surrounding mountain huts.
