Everything you need to know about the funicular railway:
  • 110% = 47 degrees maximum gradient overcome by the funicular. A world record! No other funicular in the world is steeper.
  • 1500 passengers per direction can be transported in one hour. This is 500 passengers more than on the old funicular.
  • The journey time is 4 - 7 minutes. Significantly less than with the old funicular. But even more important: The top station of the funicular is located in the middle of the village, right next to the skiing and hiking area - clear comfort for you!
  • The funicular climbs 744 metres in altitude from Schwyz to Stoos. The best thing about it: thanks to the automatic levelling of the cabins, you are standing on a level surface at all times - very comfortable! The cable car is also wheelchair accessible.
  • The distance from the valley station to the mountain station is 1740 metres.
  • One cabin holds 34 people. With four cabins per carriage, this results in a transport capacity of 136 people per trip.
  • The planning and realisation period lasted 14 years, during which eleven votes were won.

The funicular has been travelling to the heart of the mountain village of Stoos since December 2017.
