Schilthornbahn new planning
From 2022 to probably 2026, the Schilthornbahn will be rebuilt. Four sections will become just three. Gimmelwald as an intermediate station will be eliminated in the future. Not only the stations, but also the cabins will be rebuilt. This will increase the number of visitors from 400 to 800 per hour. Including transfer time, the journey time will be reduced to less than half an hour.
