VDS action day for people with disabilities

Sunday, 3 May 2026, is the day of action for people with disabilities.

We are taking part in the day of action and transporting people with disabilities from 60 GdB, with ID, free of charge.
An accompanying person will also be transported free of charge if they are registered on the disability card.

Please note: People who are unable to board the mountain railway alone due to their disability require an accompanying person to help them.

The campaign was initiated by the Verband Deutscher Seilbahnen und Schlepplifte e.V. (VDS). In addition to the Brauneck mountain railway, other mountain railways are also taking part in the campaign. You can find a corresponding list at www.seilbahnen.de/

The day of action is based on 5 May - the European Day of Protest for the Equality of People with Disabilities: Initiated in 1992 to draw attention to barriers and to stand up for self-determination. Actions such as demonstrations or local information events are typical, often with the support of organisations such as Aktion Mensch.
