The Grindelwald–Männlichen gondola cableway was the longest passenger-carrying gondola cableway in the world when it opened in 1978.[2]
The cableway was proposed in order to provide direct access the snow-sure and wind-sheltered Männlichen ski region and thus extend the ski season into spring. It was also felt that it would create interesting new round-trips and hiking attractions.[1]
The company was founded in 1978, and the cableway opened in 1978. The cableway was constructed by Habegger Maschinenfabrik AG, at a cost of CHF 22 million. At the time of its construction it was the world's longest aerial gondola cableway.[1][3]
The gondola was upgraded in 2019 as part of the V-cableway, with a new 10-passenger gondola built and designed by Doppelmayr and paid for by Jungfraubahn AG. This replaced the original 1978 infrastructure.[4]
Operationsedit
The cableway is constructed in two sections, and there is an intermediate station at Holenstein where the gondolas change cable. Each gondola carries up to ten passengers (four in the original gondola prior to 2020), and the cableway can transport 1,800 passengers (previously 900) per hour. The journey time from Grindelwald to Männlichen is 19 minutes (previously 30 minutes).[5]
