Luftseilbahn Sahli–Glattalp

The Luftseilbahn Sahli-Glattalp is an aerial lift that carries passengers from the village of Sahli up to the Glattalp station at higher elevation in the mountain region. The cable car connects two distinct zones, making the upper areas accessible for both summer and winter activities.

The cable car was built in the early 1970s and fundamentally changed how people access the Glattalp region. This infrastructure opened up the area to tourism and recreational use in the Schwyz canton.

The cable car links the village below with higher elevations, making the alpine region accessible to both residents and visitors. It supports the continuation of traditional mountain life and activities that define this valley community.

The lift operates year-round, giving summer hikers access to mountain trails and winter visitors to snow sports areas. Check the weather forecast before going, as conditions can change quickly at higher elevations.

Passengers experience a dramatic shift in elevation during the ride, moving quickly from valley floors through different ecological zones to alpine terrain. This journey reveals how the landscape, vegetation, and weather transform across relatively short distances.
