Nice cable car, brings you up in 7 min to a wonderful prestine valley. Downside, it can only accommodate 32 people per hour. Expect long queues, particularly on the way down. Alternatively, a 1h30 relatively steep path can be used to go up or down.
Arrived with a bus load of people. I guess because I don't speak the language they all got a ride within 30 minutes and I was forced to wait an hour and a half.
Nice facility with friendly staff. Capacity of the gondal is only 8 persons and could make you wait for long time on a holiday and good weather, so go early.
Yes, one gondola with a maximum capacity of 8 people. Either arrive early or be prepared to wait. It's definitely worth it; the lake at the top is beautiful. There's also a charging station for electric cars with two charging points (max. 22 kW). The staff were very friendly and helpful on both days.
A cable car to a dreamlike hiking area. Whether it's the Glattalpsee, karst landscapes, or magnificent mountain peaks, every hiker will find something to enjoy here. And there are also great mountain huts for culinary delights. The cable car carries a maximum of 8 people every 30 minutes. At peak times, the cable car runs continuously. However, there is only one gondola, which can lead to very long waits (for the descent), especially in the late afternoon and in nicer weather. We ourselves had to wait over an hour for our descent. Of course, you can also hike down, but that also takes at least 1.5 hours. The prices for adults are 12 francs per trip and 24 francs for a round trip. So, there is no discount if you buy the return ticket together. At the Sali valley station, there are large parking lots and a bus stop (bus line 506 from Muotathal). However, it's a minibus, so bottlenecks can quickly arise there too. The staff is very friendly and clearly trying to overcome the technical bottlenecks (only one cabin) as smoothly as possible.
On nice days, expect longer waiting times. It's also rather expensive. We paid CHF 54.00 for 2 people + dog (round trip).
