The summit of Valluga is accessible by an aerial tramway called Vallugabahn. This consists of two parts:
- Vallugabahn 1 has its valley station at 2091 m and its upper station at 2648 m.
- Vallugabahn 2 has its lower station at 2642 m and its top station at 2811 m.

In summer 2006 a C-band weather radar operated by Austro Control was installed on top of Valluga.
Valluga hosts some amateur radio infrastructures: a 2-meter band amateur radio repeater (uplink 145.6875 MHz, Downlink 145.0875 MHz) and a packet radio digipeater. Both have a common callsign OE7XVR. Between 2004 and 2010 there was also an amateur television repeater (callsign OE7XSI) with interlinks other repeaters in Austria, Switzerland and Germany.
