Following the replacement of their iconic Rotair revolving cable car last winter with a new version of the lift, Engelberg will add a new eight 8-seater gondola which will take visitors directly from the valley station to the mountain at Stand, a vertical ascent of nearly 1,400 metres, in just 16 minutes – a considerable time saving compared to having to take a three-stage lift ascent previously.
From Strand the new Rotair cable car climbs as further 600 vertical metres to access the full near 2,000 vertical metre descent back down to Engelberg.
