Cable car Handeck–Gerstenegg, aerial tramway in Guttannen, Bern, Switzerland

The Handeck-Gerstenegg cable car is a mountain aerial lift in Switzerland that connects two stations across roughly 3 kilometers of Alpine terrain. The system moves both passengers and heavy loads up the mountainside in a single continuous movement.

The first lift at this location opened in 1953 to serve small groups in the area. A larger replacement system began operating in 1974 and has provided improved capacity since then.

In winter the lift carries ski tourers into the Grimsel area; the pass road between Guttannen and Handeck can then only be driven with a permit issued by the KWO control centre by telephone. The PostBus runs the extension from Guttannen to Handeck on request to the driver and collects the tourers again at an agreed time. Once the Grimselstrasse opens as far as Gerstenegg in spring, public operation stops.

In winter the cable car runs for ski tourers; the Guttannen–Handeck road section needs a permit from the KWO control centre, issued by phone. The PostBus continues to Handeck on request to the driver and picks tourers up again at an agreed time. Once the Grimsel road opens to Gerstenegg in spring, public operation stops; in summer the lift serves only internal purposes and visitor groups, with at most eight people per trip.

The lift's two cabins are joined by a 3,158 m cable with a 400 m height difference, and alongside them run two freight platforms rated for up to 8 tonnes each. Public rides are capped at eight people per trip because the line holds only a cantonal concession.
