Grindelwald Terminal housing the new rail station, Eiger Express and Männlichen gondola cableways

The V-cableway is a gondola cableway with a shared base station at Grindelwald with one route to Männlichen and the other to Eigergletscher railway station. It was built by Jungfraubahn AG.[1]

Project

The project had two aims. Firstly it replaced the Grindelwald–Männlichen gondola cableway which dated from 1978 with a larger capacity gondola service and reduce journey times to Männlichen by 12 minutes. Secondly it reduced travelling times for visitors to the Jungfraujoch by providing a direct connection, known as the Eiger Express, from a new station on the Berner Oberland Bahn at Rothenegg to Eigergletscher railway station.[2]

Construction started in the summer of 2018 and the CHF 400m project[3] was completed in 2020.[4]
