Hörnli Express, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland.

The Hörnli Express reaches an elevation of 2,496 meters and features a modern gondola system connecting the valley station to the mountain station.

The first transport facility in the Hörnli area opened in 1945, operating as the longest ski lift in Switzerland at that time.

The Hörnli mountain hosts the traditional New Year's descent race every January 1st, drawing winter sports participants from across the region.

Visitors can access the Hörnli Express by taking the Rhaetian Railway from Chur to Arosa, followed by a local bus to the valley station.

The geological formation consists of 150-million-year-old basalt rock that originated from the ancient Tethys Ocean floor.
