Territet–Glion funicular railway, Funicular railway between Territet and Glion in Montreux, Switzerland.
The Territet-Glion funicular spans 600 meters from Lake Geneva's shore to Glion, featuring three stations and dual parallel tracks for ascending and descending cars.
Built in 1883, the funicular initially operated with a water counterbalancing system until 1975, when electric traction replaced the original mechanism.
The route connects Lake Geneva's shore to Glion Institute of Higher Education, maintaining transportation links through the Swiss Riviera's educational landscape.
Trains depart every 15 minutes from 05:25 until late evening, ascending 687 meters with gradients varying between 40 and 57 percent.
The funicular received gold and white livery during its 2009 renovation, integrating it into the Golden Pass transportation network of the Montreux region.
