Treib–Seelisberg railway, Funicular railway in Uri, Switzerland

The Treib–Seelisberg railway is an electric funicular in the canton of Uri that links the boat landing at Treib on Lake Lucerne with Seelisberg, 330 m above. Two cars operate in shuttle service, driven from the top station by a fixed slip-ring motor of up to 140 PS. A trip takes 6 to 8 minutes.

The railway received approval in 1910 and construction began in 1914, with operations starting in 1916 and creating a long-needed link between the lake and mountain villages. From the start, the line was necessary to transport people and goods between locations that were otherwise difficult to reach.

The railway serves as a link between the lake shore and mountain communities, used by both locals and visitors to move between two very different environments. It represents a traditional Swiss way of connecting remote areas without roads, and people still depend on it for daily life.

The ride takes 6 to 8 minutes, and the line carries about 900 passengers per hour in each direction, roughly 110,000 a year over some 10,000 trips. At Seelisberg the Postauto waits directly outside the top station exit for every departure, and at Treib the boats of the Schifffahrtsgesellschaft des Vierwaldstättersees dock at the valley station.

Until around 2006, the funicular had no operator at Treib: a "mountain railway sailor" from whichever Lake Lucerne cruise boat had just docked took over the duties of the cable car attendant. The line runs about 10,000 trips a year and carries roughly 110,000 passengers.
