Standseilbahn Schwyz–Stoos, Funicular railway in Schwyz, Switzerland.
The Standseilbahn Schwyz-Stoos is a funicular railway in Switzerland that climbs a steep mountainside and carries passengers from the valley to the mountain station in roughly 4 minutes. The system uses rotating barrel-shaped carriages designed to handle extreme gradients.
A funicular was first built and opened in 1933, connecting the valley floor to the mountain settlement above. The original system was replaced in 2017 with a new installation designed to meet contemporary safety standards.
This cable railway serves as a vital link to a car-free mountain village where residents and visitors depend on it for daily access. The funicular is deeply woven into the life of the community at the top.
The journey is short and straightforward, making this option suitable for visitors of all ages and fitness levels. The cabins are spacious enough to accommodate luggage, and the ride operates in all weather conditions.
This funicular is known for its extreme steepness and ranks among Europe's most vertical cable railways. The rotating cabins allow passengers to face the correct direction throughout the ride, regardless of the incline.
