The new 10-seater gondola lift Fiesch-Kühboden replaces two aerial tramways from Fiesch to Fiescheralp, one with 100-seater cabins and one with 34-seater cabins. The valley station of this state-of-the-art facility is located in the new public transport hub in Fiesch, offering direct connections to the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway and the PostBus network.
The 10-seater gondola lift Fiesch-Kühboden is manufactured by Doppelmayr-Garaventa. The so-called D-Line, with a travel speed of 7 m/s, is the fastest 10-seater gondola lift in Switzerland. The new CWA Omega V cabins are used as carriers.
An extension of the lift with a second section from Kühboden towards Eggishorn, as a replacement for the Fiesch-Eggishorn aerial cableway, is being considered.
