Switzerland’s New Cable Car: A Thrilling Ride

In the heart of the Bernese Alps, a new cable car has opened, offering a breathtaking journey up the Schilthorn. Known for its steep climb, this cableway rises 775 meters in just four minutes, boasting a gradient of 159. 4%. It connects the village of Stechelberg with the car-free village of Mürren, sitting high at 1, 650 meters above sea level. This isn’t Switzerland’s first high-altitude record-breaker; the world’s steepest funicular railway in Stoos and the Stanserhorn Cabrio in Lucerne also push the limits. The Schilthorn Cableway hasn’t yet been recognized by Guinness World Records, but it’s already drawing attention.

Imagine soaring above stunning alpine landscapes, feeling the thrill of the steep ascent. This cable car isn’t just a ride; it’s an experience. It’s not every day you get to travel on what could be the world’s steepest cable car. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or just love beautiful views, this new attraction is worth the trip.
