Funicular Schwyz–Stoos, Funicular railway in Schwyz, Switzerland
The Stoos Funicular traverses 1.7 kilometers across the Swiss Alps, connecting Hintere Schlattli with the mountain resort of Stoos at 1306 meters elevation.
The 52 million Swiss franc project replaced a 1933 funicular system, opening in December 2017 after five years of construction and fourteen years of planning.
The mountain village of Stoos maintains its traditional Swiss character with only 100 permanent residents and a complete absence of motor vehicles.
The funicular operates daily with departures every 30 minutes, capable of transporting 1500 passengers per hour through two bridges and three tunnels.
The railway system holds the record for the steepest funicular gradient worldwide at 47.7 degrees, featuring rotating barrel-shaped carriages that maintain level passenger floors.
