  • IMIA New Sheet March 2011 Nationale Suisse
    Top of Switzerland – Opportunities, Threats and Challenges of mountain rail- and cableways systems A couple of hundred years ago, the enjoying of the mountain world was the privilege of some spe- cialists and the affluent people. A lot of mountain regions were inaccessible without technical in- stallations. Thanks to the technical development during the last few decades, the mountains have been accessible for almost everybody – get closer to the peak of the mountain and discover the fantastic world around you on Top of Switzerland! The developing of the alpine tourism lead to the construction of many tourist facilities including different methods of transport in the mountains. The first cable car in Switzerland was built in 1866 on the Falls of the River Rhine close to Schaff- hausen. Today more than 1700 cableways and funicular railways are in operation in Switzerland. Schilthorn – Piz Gloria: Best view of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau! One of the most famous places for tourists in Switzerland is “Schilthorn” in the Bernese Oberland area. In 1967 Schilthorn was made accessible to tourists by a cableway from Stechelberg via Mür- ren and Birg to the summit. And not only this: The first turning restaurant in the world at 3’000 me- ter attitude called "Piz Gloria" was opened offering spectacular views on the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau (UNESCO world heritage) which are situated opposite of the Schilthorn. It was made fa- mous in 1969 when used as a filming location for the “On Her Majesty's Secret Service” of the James Bond 007 movie. The cableway to the planned Schilthorn restaurant had run out of money when the Bond film was being planned.

  • Trip to Wengen, Switzerland – Tuesday 27Th August 2019 to Sunday 1St September 2019
    Capital Walkers- Trip to Wengen, Switzerland – Tuesday 27th August 2019 to Sunday 1st September 2019 Wengen The Bernese Oberland is a great place for walking. Wengen is a car-free village perched on a terrace in the Lauterbrunnen Valley, reached by mountain railway and with spectacular views to the high Alps. The Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains make a splendid backdrop to the area. Walkers are spoilt for choice for excellent walking trails in the area with stunning scenery. The walks will range in difficulty from easy to moderate/strenuous. You might wish to extend your trip to Switzerland by either coming earlier or staying on afterwards. Wengen Accommodation I propose staying at the Hotel Bellevue, where I have previously stayed a number of times, at the edge of the village on a ‘half board basis’, as this offers good value. The hotel has 3 stars. The rooms are simple but comfortable with en-suite facilities. The evening meal included on the half board basis is five-course. It is a set menu but the hotel, will accommodate dietary requirements if advised in advance. The hotel also has a small a-la-carte menu. 1 The owner of Hotel Bellevue has offered the following discounted rates to Capital Walkers if you would like to stay there.
