V-cableway

The V-cableway is a gondola cableway with a shared base station at Grindelwald; it has one route to Männlichen and another to Eigergletscher railway station.

It was built by Jungfraubahn AG.

Firstly it was to replace the Grindelwald–Männlichen gondola cableway, which dated from 1978, with a larger capacity gondola service which would reduce journey times to Männlichen by 12 minutes.

Secondly it was to reduce the travel time to Jungfraujoch via direct connection–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.
