With the official opening of the world’s steepest cable car, Switzerland marks a milestone in mountain transport innovation. This project, which connects the picturesque Stechelberg Valley with the exclusive Alpine village of M\u00fcrren, stands out for its incredible gradient of 159.4%.<\/strong> A breakthrough that has captured the attention of tourists, engineering enthusiasts and those seeking agile and safe transport in extreme terrain. <\/p>\n\n

Technological innovation in the heart of the Swiss Alps<\/h2>\n\n

The new ropeway, part of the ambitious SCHILTHORNBAHN 20XX project, is not just an architectural marvel. With an autonomous system<\/a><\/strong> based on AURO (Autonomous Ropeway Operation) technology, the ropeway can operate without the need for personnel inside the cabins<\/strong> , improving safety and transport efficiency. <\/p>\n\n

Thanks to an 11-metre suspension arm and a system of high-precision cameras and sensors, the cable car manages to overcome the extreme slope without losing stability<\/strong> , transporting up to 800 people per hour.<\/p>\n\n

The first section of this new line connects Stechelberg to M\u00fcrren<\/a><\/strong> in just four minutes, covering a distance of almost 1,200 metres and a vertical drop of 775 metres<\/strong> . Travellers can enjoy breathtaking views as they travel along the steep walls of the M\u00fcrrenfluh \u2013 a spectacle unique in the world. <\/p>\n\n

The world’s steepest cable car for adventurers<\/h2>\n\n

The opening, which took place on 13 December 2024, was a major event attended by more than 600 guests. During the ceremony, guided tours of the new stations in Stechelberg and M\u00fcrren were given<\/strong> , with detailed explanations of the innovations that make this cable car a world reference. In addition, attendees were able to enjoy a party in the station bar and learn about the operation of this advanced transport system<\/a><\/strong> up close. <\/p>\n\n
