If you are looking for a thrill, you can find it on the Gelmer funicular. An incline of max. 106% makes it undoubtedly the steepest open funicular in Europe.

Tickets Tickets can be purchased online on www.grimselwelt.ch or directly at the Tourist Centre Grimseltor in Innertkirchen and at the valley station of the Gelmer funicular.

Handeckfall Bridge 70 m above the gorge of the Handeck waterfall, the hanging cable bridge allows a spectacular view of the waterfall. Located at the valley station of the Gelmer funicular, the bridge is the ideal connection to the Hotel Handeck. Hiking Tip 1: Roundtrip Gelmer Lake 2 h The Gelmer funicular, takes you to the starting point of the hike. The mountain hike around the Gelmer Lake offers fascinating insights into the alpine mountain world. Along the lake, streams of water and large rock plates invite you to linger. The partly precipitous, steep rocky cliffs, mean that only with good balance and sure footedness can one enjoy the view down to the turquoise blue lake.

Hiking Tip 2: Hike from Hotel Handeck to the Gelmer Lake 2 h Hike from Hotel Handeck to the Gelmer Lake, crossing the Gelmer dam. Then downhill back to the village and foot march over the Handeckfall bridge.

Hiking Tip 3: Hiking from Gelmer Lake to the Gelmer hut 2 h 30 min. The mountain hike along the lake with ascent to the Gelmer hut and an overnight stay is definitely worth it.

Tickets Tickets can be purchased online on www.grimselwelt.ch or directly at the Grimseltor Tourist Centre in Innertkirchen and at the valley- and mountain station of the Tälli cable car. Hiking Tip 1: From Tälli via Sätteli to Engstlen 4.5 hours By PostBus to Gadmen and then via the Tälli cable car up the mountain. From here the hike takes you directly to Engstlenalp. Return from Engstlen by bus to Innertkirchen. Hiking Tip 2: From the Mountain Lodge Tälli to Gadmen 2.5 hours Take the Tälli cable car to the restaurant and mountain lodge Tälli. From there the high-altitude walk, below the mighty Gadmerfluh, leads from the Tälli via Alp Rafluh down to the mountain village Gadmen and from there on the forest road back to the Tälli cable car. Hiking Tip 3: Climbing Route Tälli 6 – 8 hours The first climbing route in Switzerland leads through the Gadmerfluh, a gallery of rock walls. With a length of about 600 m it is one of the longest and most spectacular climbing routes in Switzerland. The starting point for the climbing route is the restaurant and the mountain lodge Tälli, which is easy to reach via the Tälli cable car. The fixed rope route is open from July to October in safe weather. 78 m of ladders, 550 concreted pens, and a lot of fixed ropes guarantee a safe tour of the route, which leads over rocky steps, grassy terraces, and narrow ledges. The descent takes place over the back of the Gadmerfluh and leads via Sätteli back to the mountain lodge Tälli or down to the Engstlenalp.

The gondola glides weightlessly over the Trift gorge and brings within ten minutes a maximum of eight people at a time from the Gadmental up into the Trift area. The former industrial cable car opens up access to the hiking area and its undoubted highlight: the Trift Bridge. With a span of 170 m, the suspension bridge leads over the abyss of the gorge. It takes some courage to cross the bridge. The reward is stunning views of the turquoise glacier lake and the tongue of the Trift Glacier.

Hiking Tip 2: From the mountain station to the Trift Bridge 1.5 hours The mountain station is the starting point for a hike, which reaches its peak in the crossing of the Trift Bridge. Fascinating views over the glacier lake up to the glacier are guaranteed. The crossing of the 170 m long suspension bridge is a must! Nothing for weak nerves. The ascent from the bridge to the Windegg hut (30 min.), can be undertaken either directly through the "Ketteliweg" (difficulty level T3) or via somewhat more leisurely over the "Family path" (difficulty level T2). When you descend directly from the Windegg hut to the mountain station of the Trift cable car, you must be sure of your step. From the Trift Bridge the Alpine Route (difficulty level T4) leads in 3 hours to the SAC-Trift hut.

The thundering waters of the Reichenbach waterfall led the way for the bold engineers when they laid the rails for the industrial cable car in 1899. Eye to eye with the wild stream and the mighty, 120 m high Reichenbach falls, the nostalgic funicular, with its faithfully reconstructed 24-seat wood car, drives up the mountain. Here, the famous detective called on his archenemy Professor Moriarty to fight - the violent fist fight ended with a fall into the depths. Into this very waterfall! Not far from the mountain station, three viewing terraces offer a breathtaking picture of the waterfall and the Haslital.

In 1925 the construction of the first KWO power plant was started on the Handeck. From 1947 onwards, the Handeck 2 power plant was built, which was supplemented with an additional, modern machine in 2009. On a power plant tour through our labyrinth of tunnels you will experience three generations of power plants and almost 100 years of power plant history and electricity production from hydropower. Many things have changed - but even more has remained the same...

The underground Innertkirchen 1 Power Plant is the lowest in elevation but not the lowest in importance. All of the water from the Grimsel catchment area runs through this power plant and is converted into electricity. This power plant, with its state-of-the-art operating system, reliably regulates the Swiss electricity grid. A tour through this power plant is an electrifying experience!
