Salamander Sesselbahn is a new chairlift with 4 seats in one gondola and it takes you from Losenheim (about 5 km from Puchberg) to "Faden" , a lower alp of Schneeberg in a hight of 1210 meters. This place is a good starting-point for hikes to Schneeberg and also to the Salamander-train-station Baumgarten and the Buchtel-wirt, that would be quite a long, but also a very scenic hike.

NÖ-Card is the perfect prepaid tourist-ticket for the area around Schneeberg and Semmering and you save already when you just take the Salamander-train to Schneeberg (29,- euros return) and the cablecar to Rax ( 17,- euros return). This NÖ-card is always valid from April untill march next year and it is just 47 euros and includes 277 attractions,lots of museums, some buses, some trains and even a cruise on the Danube. Some of the attractions you can use only 1x, some as often as you want...
Of course it also makes even more sense for everybody living in Vienna or Niederoesterreich !
Niederoesterreich ( NÖ ) is the county around Vienna and the place where you will find lots of destinations for daytrips, when on vacation in Vienna:
Melk - Wachau - Ruine Aggstein - Schloss Grafenegg - Semmering - even Belvedere Palace in Vienna, Siegmund Freud-museum - various cablecars and trains...
all of them are included in just 1 price : 47 Euros p.P. for a total of 277 attractions !
21,- euros for children, who did not have their 16th birthday before April 1st 2010.children under 6 are free !
You may buy this ticket at all places in Vienna and Niederoesterreich, where newspapers are sold (we call these shops Trafik) and also at every Raiffeisen-bank !
b.t.w. the Raiffeisenbank in Semmering is next to Zauberberg, at the place, where you leave the pass-road, it is the same place, where you also find the tourist-information !
Unfortunately their web-page is in german only !

Schneebergbahn was the traditional name for the narrow-gauge steamtrain that was built in 1897. A few years ago the old steam-trains were replaced by faster, modern diesel-trains called "Salamander". They are also painted like Salamanders and it makes sense to reserve your seats in advance over the internet.
I was there in time for the 12.00 train, but had to wait untill 01.30 p.m., because it was fully booked. Also for the return-ticket you need to reserve a time on your ticket, mine was misprinted and I am glad I saw that in time and had it corrected.
This train has an automatic door, that will not let you in , when you dont have the correct departure-time on your ticket. On your way back, the tickets are checked by the conductor.
The Salamander-train to Schneeberg runs all year
except january and february !
in Nov+Dec+Mar+April it goes only Sat+Sun
and only untill station Hengsthuette !!
The returnticket is 32,- euros, one-way is 22,60 euros
This train is totally free 1x for holders of NÖ-CARD !!!
for the ordinary Salamander-train !
------------------------------------------------------------------
Steam-trains will be operated each sunday
from July 4th till September 5th, 2010
at 10.15a.m. uphill an 02.45 downhill
for a ride with the old steam-train the fee is 6 euros extra !

In June 2003 a group of climber decided to mount Lower Austria's highest mountain called Schneeberg (2075 m). I wouldn't tell you about such an event if... well, if it wouldn't be the first...
