This network of cable cars and cogwheel railways weaves through snow-clad slopes, offering a scenic journey. Visitors can experience the transition from the charming town to the alpine wilderness, with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The railway system, a testament to Swiss engineering, provides access to the mountain’s summit, where travelers can explore hiking trails, enjoy the crisp mountain air, and take in the breathtaking vistas.
