Gletscherbahn Kaprun 2, Mountain funicular in Kaprun, Austria.
The Gletscherbahn Kaprun 2 stretches 3900 meters through the Austrian Alps, connecting the base station to the Alpine Center at 2446 meters elevation.
Opening on March 23, 1974, the funicular transported visitors until November 11, 2000, when a fire in the tunnel resulted in 155 casualties.
The funicular system represented a significant development in Alpine transportation, enabling winter sports access to the Kitzsteinhorn glacier region.
The infrastructure included a 400-meter viaduct followed by a 3500-meter tunnel, completing each journey in approximately seven minutes.
The system operated with two synchronized cabins, each capable of carrying 180 passengers at speeds reaching 36 kilometers per hour.
