The invention refers to a foldable step for vehicles, comprising a step plate and a pivoting device for pivoting the step plate between a retracted position and an unfolded position. The pivoting device comprises a rigid arm being hinged to a vehicle structure and being turnable around a horizontal rotation axis. The first pulley is arranged on the rotation axis of the arm and fixed to the vehicle structure. A second pulley is connected to the step plate and ro-tatable about a second rotation axis parallel to the rotation axis of the arm at the free end of the arm. An endless belt is conducted over the first and the second pulley.
