Today, Saturday, 14th December 2024, the time has come: the world's steepest cable car starts operating. The new direct connection between Stechelberg and Mürren was officially opened the day before as part of a VIP opening ceremony. At the same time, the first section of the cable car between Mürren and Birg will go into operation.
The 81st International Inferno Races will take place in Mürren from 22nd to 25th of January 2025. In this edition, the start will exceptionally not be on the Kleine Schilthorn. Online registration is still open until 15th September 2024.
The 62nd Annual General Meeting of the Schilthorn Cableway Ltd. took place on Friday, 21 June 2024. 204 shareholders attended the meeting in Mürren. The company can look back on a record year in 2023. The SCHILTHORNBAHN 20XX project will still have a major impact on day-to-day operations for some time to come.
The 2023 financial year of the Schilthorn Cableway Ltd. was strongly characterised by the major SCHILTHORNBAHN 20XX project. Nevertheless, record sales were once again achieved, mainly by the sectors cableway and gastronomy.
The SCHILTHORNBAHN 20XX project is still on track. Of the four remaining objections, only one is currently pending. Schilthornbahn AG expects a solution by the end of the year. The agreement “A heart for Gimmelwald” was drawn up with the residents of Gimmelwald.
At the end of April, Schilthorn Cableway Ltd. submitted to the Federal Office of Transport the dossiers for the SCHILTHORN CABLEWAY 20XX planning approval application. This far-reaching project replaces the existing cableway facilities and stations. Construction is expected to commence in spring 2022. A project website has been set up at www.schilthornbahn20xx.ch.
Schilthorn Cableway Ltd is based in Stechelberg and connects the Lauterbrunnen valley from Stechelberg with the car-free mountain villages of Gimmelwald and Mürren, continuing via Birg station to the Schilthorn summit at 2970 m.a.s.l. In front of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, the Schilthorn region offers numerous activities for guests from all over the globe. The Schilthorn acquired international prominence through the filming of the James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" in 1968.
