Schilthornbahn 20XX: To the top in less than 30 minutes
The Schilthorn offers stunning panoramic view of the Swiss Alps. The director of the James Bond classic “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” also appreciated this. In the future, visitors will not only be able to travel to the Schilthorn 365 days a year, they will also reach the mountain much faster thanks to the visionary cable car. It’s not quite there yet, but the first section is due to open this year.
The Schilthornbahn 20XX project brings significant improvements for travellers. The new cable way between Stechelberg and Mürren can transport up to 800 people per hour, doubling the previous capacity. The modern cabins offer even more space and maximum comfort. In the future, freight and luggage logistics on this route will be fully automated. The new railway also sets a record: with a maximum incline of 160% in the first section, it will be the steepest aerial cableway in the world. From Mürren, an innovative Funifor cableway will connect the stations Birg and Schilthorn. Thanks to optimised connection times, the journey time will always be under 30 minutes. Another advantage is that the Schilthorn will be accessible 365 days a year from spring 2025 onwards. The opening of the first section and the first cableway of the second section is scheduled for 13 December 2024. Just remember: Travel to the Schilthorn will not be possible between October 2024 and March 2025.
