Cable railways, secret tip
Select your Region:
Lugano (Ticino)
From Paradiso, a suburb of Lugano, a funicular takes you to San Salvatore. From the mountain station you can reach the peak with its viewing tower in a 10- to 15-minute walk. This is one of the region’s most beautiful vantage points.
Malbun (Eastern Switzerland / Liechtenstein)
Come to Liechtenstein’s lofty heights. The 4-seater Sareis chair lift whisks you to the 2000-meter Sareiserjoch, which is topped by a mountain restaurant and is an ideal starting point for myriad hiking tours in the mountains of Liechtenstein.
Meiringen (Bernese Oberland)
In the summer of 1998, a state-of-the-art gondola replaced the 2-seater chairlift Mägisalp – Planplatten, which dates back to Gründerzeit at the end of the 19th century. A year later the construction began on the panoramic restaurant Alpen Tower.
Meiringen (Bernese Oberland)
The nostalgic funicular takes you to the imposing Reichenbach Falls. Three viewing terraces offer a breathtaking view of the 120-meter-high gushing waterfall.
Miglieglia (Ticino)
From Miglieglia the modern cable car reaches the peak of Monte Lema in only 10 minutes. From the terrace of the mountain restaurant you will enjoy a splendid view.
Nendaz (Valais)
On December 20, 1958 the gondola train Nendaz-Tracout was inaugurated in the presence of the press, numerous guests and the local population. The new installation was celebrated in a grand way and many photographs were taken. The Canton of Valais had gained another resort village.
Rougemont (Lake Geneva Region)
The 4-seat gondola train, Rougemont-Videmanette with a capacity of 600 per hour, starts its 2,8-kilometer ride from the valley and reaches an elevation of 2151 meters.
Saas Fee (Valais)
If one did not have before one’s mind’s eye the dazzling mountain world and the glittering glacier next to the entrance to the Alpine Metro, one would forget that the tunnel walls rushing by at a speed of ten meters per second are part of the High Alps.
San Carlo (Ticino)
As the cable car rides from San Carlo to Robièi (9999m) climbs to lofty heights, the mighty Basodino Glacier gradually comes into view, a glittering white peak against the backdrop of a granite and gneiss landscape.
Sattel (Central Switzerland)
The ride on the Sattel-Hochstuckli chairlift has always been a wonderful experience. It is even more so today with the new revolving gondola "Stuckli Rondo". The 8-seater gondola train with revolving cabins built in Sattel-Hochstuckli is a worldwide first.
