Mountain railways

High, higher, Alpen tower: with an aerial cableway and two gondola cableways to over 2000 metres above sea level or on rails over the Brünig Pass. Our lifts make all this possible. You can find the current operating status of every single railway and every single lift in the Haslital on our overview maps.

To the Alpen tower, and beyond

Bergbahnen Meiringen-Hasliberg runs 14 cable car facilities in the Meiringen-Hasliberg skiing and hiking area. The Alpen tower is a highlight of the area. To get there, first you take the Meiringen-Hasliberg Reuti aerial cableway, then the Hasliberg Reuti-Bidmi-Mägisalp gondola cableway and finally the Mägisalp-Alpen tower gondola cableway to reach the mountain restaurant at 2,250 metres above sea level and boasting an unrivalled 360-degree view. From this point, you can see more than 400 mountain peaks in good weather.

The mountain railways in the Grimselwelt

Eight unique railways

The Gelmer funicular is the steepest open funicular in Europe. The Hospiz gondola takes you to the foot of a dam. The Oberaarbahn takes you from Grimsel Hospiz to the Oberaarsee via the Grimselsee. And at the Reichenbach Waterfall, you can follow  in the footsteps of Sherlock Holmes. Grimselwelt has eight railways. Each one is special and unique.
