Tschugging up the mountain

The Tschuggen Express, our very own mountain railway, went into operation for the hotel’s guests in 2009. At the touch of a button the two cabins of the Tschuggen Express take 12 hotel guests directly to the skiing and hiking area with each trip. While guests enjoy the views of snow-covered mountain tops or lush green alpine meadows in summer, the train climbs 150 metres in altitude over a stretch of 528 metres of track. The maximum gradient is 52 per cent. The Tschuggen Express covers the steep section of track with a speed of 4 m per second, allowing the journey to be completed in less than two and a half minutes.
