Gelmerbahn

It's a beautiful mountain!we ride a funicular going up and there is a beautiful lake and waterfalls where you can hike for 3.5hrs. It's a great experience!

This was on my bucket list and certainly didn't disappoint ! I booked it up almost a year ago as I didn't want to miss out as we had a tight schedule. When you get up the top, the views are breathtaking and it is certainly well worth the moneyA definite recommended visit!

The Gelmerbahn funicular is an absolutely incredible and unforgettable experience! I embarked on this adventure with my family, and we were delighted with every aspect of this journey.First and foremost, the picturesque surroundings caught our eyes. The views that accompanied us during the ascent were breathtaking. Winding through narrow paths, we were surrounded by wild mountain landscapes, cascading waterfalls, and emerald lakes. It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.The ride on the Gelmerbahn funicular itself was incredibly thrilling. It is the steepest funicular in the world, which added to our excitement. We could feel the rush of emotions as we ascended higher and higher, gaining altitude in a more and more extraordinary way. It is truly an unforgettable experience and a perfect attraction for adrenaline enthusiasts.The staff was also very professional and friendly. The personnel was always smiling and willingly answered our questions, sharing interesting facts about the funicular and the area. We felt cared for and safe throughout the entire journey.I wholeheartedly recommend the Gelmerbahn funicular to anyone visiting this region. It is one of those places you must see with your own eyes to appreciate its beauty and magic. It's a true gem in the heart of the Swiss Alps and undoubtedly leaves beautiful memories for a lifetime.

What an amazing experience. Definitely should be on your list. Please plan accordingly. First, the trolley is on time, so don't be late. Second, allow at least an hour once you are on top. There is a trail that takes at least 2 hrs, so if you are going to hike there make sure you have the time. You have to buy your ticket to go down on the trolley also, so plan your departure time according to your activity time. Views are breathtaking and the lake is super clear.

The staff was great they swap our tickets with available times because we were in wrong lift. We loved the Funicular and the hike around the lake was fun and beautiful area. Hiking shoes and sticks is best but most tourists weren’t ready.

This is the funicular you want to do. Its just the right mix of amazing views and terrifyingly open.Great views. Very nice lake at the top. Think it takes 2-3 hours to walk around.That staff are fantastic too.

Incredible experience. Such amazing views and the walk around the lake up the top is breathtaking. We finished the walk in about 2 hours and staff let us get on the funicular back down a little earlier than our ticket.

Beautiful location.. its better to book tickets before u come.. we can spend minimum 1.5hours in Gelmersee.. so book accordingly.. after 18.23 there is no bahn and public bus stops after 18.33... there is only hotel..its good to bring your snacks or drinks..

Lovely day here. We were the first ones up our ticket was around 9 so we arrived at 8.45. Please be early as everyone wants to sit at the front and rush. You also need to book for the way back but it can be tricky and you will need to plan as we didn’t know when we wanted to come back as we weren’t sure what was up there.We made our way to the top, the ride was incredible and steep where we could see the mountains across. We had a clear day so that was good.Once we reached the top we came across a beautiful clear lake. My partner and I had a quick swim and it was so lovely and refreshing.After that it was only 10 so we thought we would walk around the lake. We were mindful of the time as we had booked 12.45 and we had googled it takes around 2 hours to walk around. The path isn’t hard itself but you definitely need hiking boots.There are beautiful stop offs along the way but we couldn’t enjoy it as much due to the time restraint we had with booking our return time.We made it 15 minutes late but we were allowed on to the next one as we weren’t that late but sometimes it may be fully booked.Book your slots online as it seems to get fully booked straight away and people were being turned away and some had to wait for half an hour to an hour to get up there.There is also a bridge when you get down you can visit before or after your trip which has a lovely waterfall
