Standseilbahn Schwyz–Stoos, Funicular railway in Schwyz, Switzerland.
The Standseilbahn Schwyz-Stoos spans 1.7 kilometers across the Swiss Alps, connecting Hintere Schlattli to the mountain resort of Stoos at 1306 meters elevation.
The original funicular operated from 1933 until 2017, when a new system was constructed for 52 million Swiss francs to meet modern safety requirements.
This transportation system serves both local residents and tourists, providing essential access to the car-free mountain village of Stoos throughout the year.
The funicular operates at 10 meters per second, completing the journey in 4 minutes while carrying up to 1500 passengers per hour in rotating barrel-shaped carriages.
With a maximum gradient of 110 percent or 47.7 degrees, this funicular holds the record as the steepest railway system in Europe.
