Luftseilbahn Morschach–Stoos, Aerial lift in Morschach, Switzerland

The Luftseilbahn Morschach–Stoos is a cable car built by Garaventa and installed in 1981, running almost along the same line as its 1938 predecessor. Its two cabins hold 15 people each and carry 150 passengers per hour over 2,200 metres of horizontal length, climbing 475 metres in seven minutes at an average gradient of 22.9 percent.

A steep track through the Stooswald to Stoos has existed since 1882. The first cable car, built in 1938 and nicknamed «Rüti-Bähnli», «Silbervogel» or «Swiss Air», carried three to four people or 200 kg. Its operating licence was withdrawn in the 1960s, and it closed in 1968; for 13 years Morschach had no cable link to Stoos. The present lift, built by Garaventa, opened in 1981 almost on the same route.

Locals nicknamed the 1938 lift "Rüti-Bähnli", "Silbervogel" or "Swiss Air"; it carried only three to four people or 200 kg. After its licence was withdrawn it closed in 1968, leaving Morschach without a cable link for 13 years until the Garaventa-built line opened in 1981.

The cable car operates year-round and provides direct access between the valley and mountain activities like skiing in winter and hiking in summer. Check conditions before your visit, as weather can occasionally affect operations.

The greatest ground clearance on the line is 190 metres, reached where the cable crosses the steep flank above Morschach. The two cabins hold 15 people each, and the line climbs 475 metres of height in seven minutes.
