On board the world’s steepest cable car
77% Informative
Mürren is the car-free Swiss village that perches on a mountain ledge facing the Eiger .
Since December the record-breaking new lift has been hoisting visitors from a car park on the valley floor in Stechelberg ( 866 m) to the village centre ( 1,640 m) in four ear-popping minutes.
This is only the first segment of a 100-million project to replace the entire chain of lifts.
Summer tourism overtook winter business here 20 years ago .
Mürren ’s slopes are as well equipped as any in the Alps , and among the least crowded.
Uplift capacity has doubled from 400 to 800 passengers per hour, and 365 days a year of operation permits increased sales of expensive excursion tickets, food, drink and merchandise.
