Braunwaldbahn
The Braunwaldbahn, Braunwald-Standseilbahn, or Braunwald Funicular, is a funicular railway in the canton of Glarus, Switzerland. The line links Linthal Braunwaldbahn station, on the Swiss Federal Railways' Weesen to Linthal line, with the car-free resort of Braunwald on the mountain above.
The line was opened in 1907. During a major maintenance project in November 2023, service was temporarily replaced by a two-minute helicopter shuttle between the two stops on the Braunwaldbahn. The normal fare was charged to passengers on the shuttle flight, which had four seats and a priority system for local residents, workers, and students.
