~~~Switzerland has Unveiled a new Double-Decker Cable Car~~~
Switzerland has unveiled a new double-decker cable car, reportedly the first one in the world, near the city of Lucerne. The cable car, christened The Cabrio, soars up the Stanserhorn mountain at a dizzying height of 1.9km carrying 60 passengers at a time, with room for 30 on the open-air top deck.
Cabrio is not the world’s only aerial tram with double-deck cabins. There are two others: the Vanoise Express that traverses the Ponturin gorge in France and the Shinhotaka Ropeway that climbs Mount Hotaka in Japan. But both have enclosed upper floors. The Cabrio is the only one with an open-air deck that offers magnificent and unobstructed view of the valley below.
The journey starts in the village of Stans, about a 15-minute car or train ride from downtown Lucerne. The cable car base station sits at 711 meters above sea level, and to access it one must first ride one of the world’s oldest functioning funiculars. Dating from 1891, the wood and wrought-iron funicular that brings passengers from the village of Stans to the Cabrio base station has a charm of it’s own - its vehicles adorned with frosted glass and curtains.
