The Gelmerbahn is situated in the Bernese Alps, near the village of Handegg. It is renowned as one of the steepest funicular railways in the world, with a gradient of up to 106%. The ride starts at Handegg, where passengers board a narrow gauge train car that ascends the mountainside.
As you embark on this exhilarating journey, you'll witness the awe-inspiring beauty of the surrounding landscape. Lush green valleys, snow-capped peaks, and cascading waterfalls paint a picturesque panorama throughout the ride. The railway car clings to the mountainside, offering spectacular views of the turquoise waters of Lake Gelmer below.
The ride lasts approximately ten minutes, during which you'll cover a distance of about 1,028 meters (3,373 feet). As the Gelmerbahn climbs higher, the adrenaline rush intensifies, especially when the train passes over dramatic bridges and steep sections. The experience is not for the faint of heart, but it rewards passengers with an unparalleled sense of adventure and awe.
Upon reaching the top station, located at an elevation of 1,868 meters (6,129 feet), visitors can explore the stunning alpine surroundings.
