Sunnegga Funicular

Sunnegga Funicular

The fast way up in the morning.

Built in 1985 the Sunnegga Express was pioneering in that it travelled entirely through a tunnel built into the mountain. The 3 minute journey whisks you 689 metres vertically to the top station at 2288 metres.

From the funicular, a new combination lift has been constructed that will transport skiers straight up to the Bauherd interchange. The ‘combi’, as its name suggests, is a combination of six-seater chairlifts and eight-seater gondolas, and was built in 2005.

After negotiating the interchange, there is a cable car that can fit 150 passengers, built in 1996, to take you up to the Rothorn, and at the other extreme, a four-seater gondola built in 1971, to take you all the way back to the valley floor. From there, a connecting cable car will transport you up to the Gornergrat skiing slopes.

In the immediate Rothorn area of the slopes, a three-seater chairlift serves both sides of the Rothorn slopes.

A four-seater lift built in 1989 serves skiers below the Sunnegga area and takes them directly to Blauherd. For the Gornergrat area of the slopes, there’s a four-seater lift to replace the older one built in 1956.

The Zermatt Ski Resort incorporates the Sunnegga skiing area in Valais, Switzerland. The resort centres its activities on the mountain of Rothorn above the picturesque town of Zermatt. Holiday apartments put the whole skiing experience of these unique slopes at your fingertips.

Skiing trails stretch right along down to the floor of the valley, between the peaks of Rothorn and Gornergrat, and amongst the ski runs they include are those going directly down to the Oberhausern district of Zermatt, and ending at the passenger lift that transports skiers down inside the funicular system.
