Wetterhorn cable car, Aerial lift in Grindelwald, Switzerland
The Wetterhorn cable car system extends from the Hotel Wetterhorn base station to the Enge mountain station along the Wetterhorn mountain face.
Inaugurated in 1908 as the first public cable car worldwide, the installation operated until 1915 when operations ceased due to World War I.
The cable car station remains stand as an engineering monument, marking the beginning of alpine transportation development in the Swiss mountainous regions.
Visitors can examine a replica of the original cable car cabin situated near Hotel Wetterhorn, which includes information panels about the system.
The mountain station structure, positioned at 1,671 meters elevation, remains visible on the Wetterhorn mountainside as a testament to early 20th-century technology.
