1/15 Standseilbahn Schwyz-Stoos (Stoosbahn)
The Schwyz-Stoos funicular (Stoosbahn) is, at its opening, the steepest funicular railway in the world. Thanks to a new vehicle concept, the lift system overcomes various gradients along its route, with a maximum incline of 110 percent, passing through a total of three tunnels. The passenger cabins always remain horizontally aligned.
The new funicular from Doppelmayr connects the valley station Schlattli in Muotathal very comfortably with the mountain station Stoos. On its approximately 1.7 km long route, the railway passes through three tunnels and overcomes a maximum gradient of 110%.
For the first time in this form, cylindrical passenger compartments compensate for the incline and maintain a horizontal orientation of the passenger level. During the comfortable ride, guests enjoy the view through the large panoramic windows. Each vehicle accommodates 136 passengers, allowing a capacity of 1,500 people per hour. Goods platforms on the mountain side enable additional freight transport. The ground-level design of both the mountain and valley stations ensures increased comfort and accessibility when boarding and alighting.
