History

Today, Luftseilbahn Grindelwald-Pfingstegg AG is an innovative company that, in addition to leisure activities, also offers exclusive gourmet dinners in the gondolas.

Modernization of Cabins and Stations As part of a comprehensive renovation, new cabins manufactured by CWA have been put into operation. Newly installed station cable shoes, perfectly matched to the new cabins, ensure smooth and barrier-free boarding and disembarking. Another highlight of the modernization is the fully automated platform door system with sliding doors, which makes access to the cabins even more convenient and secure. At the same time, numerous maintenance works were carried out on the existing infrastructure to ensure long-term operation. The project cost approximately CHF 2.6 million. The renovation is rounded off by the introduction of a modern badge-based locking system by the company Salto, which offers maximum security and user-friendliness for both staff and operations.

Since 2019, our unique Fly-Line adventure attraction has been delighting visitors with an unforgettable flying experience. Gently gliding through the landscape, the route winds its way along—a breezy blend of adventure, nature, and thrills for the whole family. A special convenience: thanks to the integrated return system, guests are comfortably brought back to the starting point—no need for a tiring walk back. With an investment of around CHF 1.6 million, we have created an attraction that meets the highest technical and safety standards while offering a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

The original cabins from 1967 have undergone a total revision. This comprehensive refurbishment preserves the nostalgic charm of the historic cabins while upgrading them to meet modern standards of comfort, safety, and technology.

In 1999, the summer toboggan run opened, quickly becoming a popular attraction for guests from around the world. Since then, the experience has been enhanced with the addition of an adventure playground, a barbecue area, and a treasure hunt.

In the beginning, the track also operated during winter, featuring groomed slopes and a ski lift. However, due to a lack of snow and an unfavorable location, winter operations were discontinued in 1979.

As early as 1962, the Thun-based company Habegger planned an aerial tramway for 35 passengers. In 1966, Luftseilbahn Grindelwald-Pfingstegg AG was founded, and construction began—with costs amounting to just under 2.4 million Swiss francs.
