The steepest cogwheel railway in the world at Mount Pilatus

Record holder

Since 1889 from Alpnach up to Mt Pilatus

Commissioned in 1889, a gradient of up to 48 percent, about 30 minutes travel time: that is the steepest cogwheel railway in the world in figures. Meter by meter it scales the way from Alpnachstad to Pilatus Kulm, passing alpine meadows and striking rock formations.
