Want to test your nerves? The ‘world’s steepest cable car’ has just opened in Switzerland

Cable car alps.

Think you can handle heights? Check out what claims to be the ‘world’s steepest cable car’. Newly opened in the Bernese Alps, Switzerland, the Schilthornbahn 20XX takes hikers, skiers, and explorers 2,543ft / 775m into the skies at a hair-raising incline of 159.4%

Connecting the alpine villages of Stechelberg and Mürren, two new operational cable cars have space for 85 people. In only an hour, the all-new cable car can transport up to 800 visitors to Mürren, which lies 5,413ft / 1,650m above sea level.
