Aerial Cable Car Adventure - Floating into Lofty Heights

The licensed cableways in the Canton of Uri altogether surmount about 23,000 meters in altitude. Frequently, the cabins have a capacity for only four passengers. A large part of the public cableways open the Alpine regions to the general public and are operated by the local population. Today some operate on a token basis (Jetons), making it possible to use the cableway independently of any schedule.

The little “trains” conquer steep mountain faces and convey the hiker and nature lover to terraces with marvelous views above the Reuss Valley, Lake Lucerne and the Schächen Valley.
If you are traveling, for example, on the Swiss Path, you can stop at Seelisberg and ride up high above the “Seeli” (“Little Lake”) to the “Weid” (“Pasture”). You will enjoy not only the vista of Lake Lucerne and the Alps, but also the culinary delights of the Alpenrestaurant, which has a garden terrace. Overnights In the new dormitory are possible.

Or ride the cable car from Witterschwanden (PostBus line Flüelen - Unterschächen) high up to the Kessel Mountain Station (1440m) in the Acherberge mountains, which is the starting point for hiking the mule track of the Suworowweg (Suworow Path) leading to the Muota Valley via the Kinzig Pass.

The “Urner Seilbahnenführer" guidebook has a list of the cableways.
