Cable railways, secret tip

The leisurely journey over the enormous meadow slope with scattered hay huts and cowsheds, in the holiday oasis of Brigels Waltensburg Andiast is rewarding.

Whether a visitor may be a skier, a literature fan, a mountaineer or a scientist, the Parsenn Mountain Train, opened in 1931, will be of great help to explore the wonderful Weissfluh-Joch.

Feldis, a small paradise waiting to be discovered. Even the 10-minutes of floating high above the Rheinauen is a vacation experience in itself.

Without exagerating one can say that 1000 peaks are visible from the Parpan Rothorn. Mountain peaks jut out everywhere.

The Aelpli cableway - here's a tip: ideal on the one hand for hikers, to whom it makes a beautiful hiking region accessible, but also for people who know how to enjoy life and value the outstanding views and hospitable service of the mountain restaurant.

A visit to the Diavolezza transports one to a majestic mountain world, impressive through its size and beauty.

Box seats with a spectacular view are available on the Muottas Muragl, a mere 10-minute ride by funicular from the lower parts of the Engadine Valley. Painters and poets admired this scenic beauty early on.

Cross the border in style, namely in a double-decker aerial cable-car that connects Samnaun to Tridat/Ischgl (Austria).

The Weisshorn is at 2,653 meters Arosa’s tallest mountain. A cable car takes you from the village via the 2,013-meter mid-station to the attractive viewing point on the summit.

The Schatzalp is the place for those who need peace and quiet, who love nature or want to experience history. The historic hotel and the Alpine countryside leave a dual imprint. The funicular railroad still opens up the area.

The Cassons Ridge is easily reached from Flims by cable car. You can get to Alp Nauruas by cable car via the Foppe Mid-Station. From here a small aerial cable car takes you up the mountain.

The Madrisa Train operators call the mountain station “Entrance to the Alpine Park Landscape”. And they are quite justified in doing so, for there are innumerable natural and cultural phenomena in a tiny space at the border between Graubünden and Vorarlberg.

The aerial cable car from Surlej-Silvaplana to the Corvatsch tempts the rider towards superlatives. Together, both sections convey the guest from 1,877 to 3,305 meters; the deep blue sky of the Engadine seems close enough to touch. The view down to Lake Sils and to Piz Bernina with the Bianco Ridge is incomparable.

High above St. Moritz where the Säntis cable car ends - at almost 2,500 meters above sea level - is the starting point of the cable car going up to the Piz Nair.
