Mountain railways

Brienzer Rothorn

Ever since 1892, the Brienz Rothorn Railway in Brienz in the Bernese Oberland has been stomping, huffing and puffing towards the Brienzer Rothorn.

CabriO Stanserhorn

Enjoying the wind in one’s face and the perfect view: first on the open funicular – rumbling and bumping just as it did 120 years ago – and then on the rooftop deck of the futuristic CabriO aerial cableway.

Grindelwald First

The First is an ideal starting point for action-packed hikes, the new “First Cliff Walk by Tissot” being a prime example.

Harderbahn

The Zermatt Bergbahnen AG take visitors right to Europe’s highest mountain station – at amazing 3883 metres.

Mount Pilatus Cogwheel Train and Cable Car

Easily accessible by public transport from Lucerne, Mount Pilatus is the ideal adventure mountain for the entire family.

Moléson – a popular destination in the Fribourg Pre-Alps

It’s no wonder that the Moléson has a special place in the hearts of Fribourg’s citizens: the journey up to the panoramic peak is an adventure in itself. Once you reach the summit, you are greeted by wonderful 360° panoramic views of the Gruyère Pre-Alps and the Bernese and Valais Alps.

Montreux - Rochers-de-Naye cogwheel railroad

Säntis cable car

The journey in the big Säntis cable car from Schwägalp across the rocky ridges to the mountain station is an impressive experience in itself. And once you reach the “weather mountain”, the view of six different countries will take your breath away.

Schynige Platte

This great experience starts right when guests step into the coaches of the nostalgic cog railway. And the higher the train climbs, the more breathtaking becomes the mountain view that reveals itself.

The journey there is an experience in itself, with passengers being taken up to a natural paradise 1,300 metres up.

The journey to the Titlis is truly an adventure in itself. First take the Titlis Xpress gondola to the middle station, then continue your journey in the TITLIS Rotair, the world’s first revolving cable car, all the way to the top.
