V-cableway
Swiss gondola cableway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The V-cableway is a gondola cableway with a shared base station at Grindelwald; it has one route to Männlichen and another to Eigergletscher railway station. It was built by Jungfraubahn AG.[1]
Project
The project had two aims. Firstly it was to replace the Grindelwald–Männlichen gondola cableway, which dated from 1978, with a larger capacity gondola service which would reduce journey times to Männlichen by 12 minutes. Secondly it was to reduce the travel time to Jungfraujoch via direct connection–the Eiger Express–from a new station on the Berner Oberland Bahn at Rothenegg to Eigergletscher railway station.[2]
Construction started in the summer of 2018, and the CHF 400m project[3] was completed in 2020.[4]
