🎢Gelmerbahn, the steepest open funicular in Europe with a 106% gradient, will take you to Lake Gelmer (1850 m above sea level). Helmersee is the starting point for hiking and mountain tours.
The Gelmerbahn lower station is easily accessible both by car and by post bus (bus stop: Handegg, Gelmerbahn). The station is located in Khandegg, right on the road to the Grimsel Pass.

OPERATING HOURS
June, September, October: 9.00 a.m. – 4.00 p.m. (last ascent 3.48 p.m., last descent 4.00 p.m.)
July, August: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. (last ascent 4:36 p.m., last descent 4:48 p.m.)
PRICES
Adults return CHF 36 / one-way CHF 18
Children 6–15 years return CHF 18.– / one-way CHF 9.–

💡INTERESTING
Gelmerbahn ranks second among the steepest cable cars in the world. First place narrowly belongs to the Scenic Railaway cable car in Australia (128%).
However, given the fact that Helmerbahn passengers ascend to the dam in a completely open car, shaped like a large red staircase and without a roof, protected from falling by a single crossbar, suggests that the Swiss cable car offers a much more refined experience.

Enjoy watching friends and have a great trip!!! 🛫🇨🇭

    This is not a roller coaster but a tourist train or a better term lift taking tourists up and down a mountain. It's beautiful scenery thank you for this.
  • @billthompson4718
    Doesn’t matter if it’s a roller coaster or not in my eyes. Beautiful scenery, and a virtual visit without the jet lag. Thank you so much for posting it!
  • @johnbaggett8951
    This video is incredible!! Its so clear i actually feel like I'm there!! After a hard day at work this just takes me away from the real world!! Thank you!!
  • @leshernandez8577
    Aaaah... Majestic Switzerland! My favorite country on earth. 🇨🇭😍🇨🇭💕🇨🇭💖
  • That Caribbean blue lake in the middle of the Switzerland Alps is breathtaking. Overall, lovely scenery.👍🏽♥️💯
  • @gordonjackson513
    I thought Scotland's scenery was beautiful but the scenery here is unbelievable.
  • @Tigermania
    There are no mountain ranges like this in my country, it's amazing to see the vistas you captured with such clarity.
  • @dorisbotts6414
    I was expecting an actual roller coaster. That is more like a tram. Just hate to see what happens if the brakes gave out on that. But the view is awesome and the lake is really nice too.
  • I think they misunderstood the concept of what a rollercoaster is actually supposed to do. That is just a little tourist train. Taking people up-and-down a mountain, not a roller coaster. Very, very beautiful scenery, thank you.
  • @Sewtangle
    Not a roller coaster, but Switzerland is magnificent!
  • @sandywa3057
    Absolutely breathtaking! That lake is incredibly beautiful, I never saw anything like it! I myself couldn’t ride the tram as I’m terrified of heights. When I was little the Ferris wheel I was riding stopped and I was at the top. It began falling apart and fireman had to carry us down. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us! ❤️
  • @KT-sq2ml
    Omg I would die of a heart attack on this! It’s gorgeous scenery, but this video is more than enough for me! Even watching this I’m only 2:25 minutes in and think I’ve seen enough. 😅
  • @crooked-halo
    Absolutely fantastic! This is an inclined railway, or funicular, built in 1926 to facilitate transporting building materials to & from the construction of the Gelmersee Reservoir. It uses a cable to ascend and descend, run by an electric motor. Opened to the public in 2001. The oldest, The Reisszug at Hohensalzburg Castle at Salzburg, Austria, still operates & dates from 1495 or 1504! Accurate date unknown. To end the tired argument below, from a wooden roller coaster hobbyist & historian (me); Inclined Railways, or Funiculars, do not coast, therefore they are not roller coasters by technical definition.

    When I was just 5yrs old, I fell off a 18-20 ft cliff. Suffered a mild concussion and that was it. But needless to say I developed an intense fear of heigth8. Even though while sitting in bed and feeling like I'm falling off the bed,dizzy, whole 9yards...IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
  • No matter what the terrain the Swiss will have a lovely way of traversing it!
  • @marcdich
    Omg is an understatement majorly the fact that they built a miniature railroad to go up steep mountains. It’s just freaking awesome and by the way, you’re a beautiful woman thank you for the videos.
  • @TruthIris
    Whatever camera you’re using, every other YouTuber really needs to catch the heck up. Excellent clarity!
