Switzerland has launched the world's steepest cable car, reaching 775 meters high in the Bernese Oberland. The cable car connects Stechelberg to Mürren and features a 159.4% incline, transporting up to 800 passengers per hour. The cable car, part of the £87 million Schilthornbahn 20XX project, reduces travel time to the Schilthorn from 105 minutes to one hour. It operates autonomously with advanced monitoring systems. The iconic revolving restaurant at the Schilthorn, closed for five months, is reopening alongside the cable car. This project aims to enhance tourism in the area, known for its stunning views and James Bond film history.
