How it works

It leaves on the hour and half hour, and if it is busy, every few minutes. There is a single or return ticket, with discounts, and it is booked online; in the online shop you can also hire snowshoes and poles. Dogs go up with a muzzle and lead, and those larger than a cat pay a fare. Twice a year it stops for maintenance: in autumn 2026, from 16 November to 4 December, and in spring 2027, from 5 to 23 April.
