Luftseilbahn Kräbel-Rigi Scheidegg, Mountain aerial lift in Schwyz, Switzerland.
Description
The Kräbel-Rigi Scheidegg aerial lift connects the valley floor to a high mountain pass, climbing steeply across a significant elevation gain. The system uses modern cabins that move continuously between the two stations throughout the day.
History
An original cable system served this route from the 1960s onward, shaping mountain access in the region for decades. The current installation represents a modern upgrade that replaced the aging structure while maintaining the connection.
Culture
The summit station connects to a network of mountain paths, including a 7-kilometer accessible footpath leading to Rigi Kaltbad.
Practical
The ride is straightforward, requiring only entry into a cabin at either station. It helps to check operating conditions on days with bad weather or strong winds, as these may affect service.
Did you know?
A rotating bench at the Ark viewpoint near the mountain station lets visitors see all directions of the surrounding peaks without moving. This simple feature adds something memorable to the visit.
