Exclusive Group Tours of the Gurten Funicular
CHF 150.00
How exactly does a funicular work? What happens beneath the cars, and what does it take to keep the Gurtenbahn running reliably day after day? Our guided tours take you to places guests don't usually get to see. Your group will look behind—and even underneath—the Gurtenbahn, discover fascinating technology, and learn surprising, amusing, and perhaps even quirky details about the railway's daily operations. A tour for anyone who has always wanted to know what makes the Gurtenbahn tick. ⚙️ The price does not include funicular tickets.

Itinerary
We meet at the valley station. From there, we take the lift up to the drive station. Once there, we go behind the scenes to discover the technical heart of the lift and even take a look at a spot guests normally never get to see—beneath the Gurtenbahn itself. Fascinating stories, surprising facts, and a few secrets included. ⚙️ May we also offer you an aperitif or coffee and a croissant?
