Solar Cableway Staubern – with solar power towards the Alpstein

This public transport highlight impresses with environmentally friendly state-of-the-art technology: It is the world’s first battery-powered cableway that leads to the summit by relying exclusively on solar energy. The summit greets visitors with a breathtaking view as far as Lake Constance. As the Staubern cableway not only produces but also stores energy, evening rides pose no problem whatsoever. The track cables of both gondolas have built-in wiring that supply the nearby mountain restaurant with power.
