Pill: Kellerjochbahn, Trails and Local History

For a skiing holiday in Pill, access to the Kellerjochbahn is a central point of reference. From Grafenast, the Kellerjochbahn takes visitors by double chairlift up to an altitude of 1,887 metres to the Arbeser mountain station.

Access to the Kellerjochbahn and getting there

The access point to the Kellerjochbahn in Pill is located at Pillbergstraße 210, 6136 Pill. In addition, Regio bus route no. 8 runs to Grafenast, providing access to the Kellerjochbahn area. This means there are two points of reference for getting there: the access point on Pillbergstraße and Grafenast as the destination of the bus route.

The Kellerjochbahn is a double chairlift. Its Arbeser mountain station is located at an altitude of 1,887 metres. Anyone considering access to a mountain lift when choosing a ski hotel or other accommodation can use the access point in Pill as a reference for their journey.

Trails and waterfall as additional destinations

The Trail of the Senses is 5 kilometres long, takes around three hours and begins and ends at the Pillberg car park. The start and destination are therefore at the same car park. No transport back to the starting point is required for this route. The duration of around three hours is an approximate indication.

Another option is an approximately one-hour hike to the Piller Waterfall in Pill. Here too, the duration is only approximate. The waterfall complements the mountain-focused orientation with a hiking destination. For travel groups with different interests, this distinction may play a role in planning the day, without implying any particular suitability, difficulty or facilities of the trail.

Parish Church of St. Anne and historical local references

Pill is also home to the Parish Church of Pill, St. Anne. The church was built from 1516 to 1518. Its Gothic tower dates from 1516 and has a Baroque octagonal upper section with a bulbous dome by Jakob Flörl dating from 1718. The vault frescoes in the Parish Church of Pill, St. Anne, were painted by Christoph Anton Mayr around 1750.

The Plankenhof is also part of the town’s historical references. Maria Theresa granted the Plankenhof the right to distil fruit spirits in the 18th century. This means the right to distil fruit. The right to distil fruit spirits refers to the town’s history; it does not imply any current gastronomic service or present-day offering.

The veneration of the Holy Cross in Pill dates back to the recovery of a bridge cross that fell into the Inn during the fire at the Zirl Inn Bridge on 25 July 1703, at the Heiligkreuzstollen below Pill. The discovery at the Heiligkreuzstollen and the date 25 July 1703 mark the historical reference.
