Tickets

You can purchase tickets on the SBB Mobile App (easiest), Männlichen website, and ticket office at the cable car station.

If you are hiking, check out the combo "Rundfahrten/Tour" tickets that include one way on the Männlichen cable car and one way on a different mountain railway for the end of the hike.

If you are unsure, go to the ticket office and explain what you want to do and they will sell you the correct ticket.

Tickets can be bought immediately before your journey and do not sell out. You cannot reserve a time slot - first come, first served (except for the Royal Ride below).

Royal Ride

You can pay a bit extra to ride on top of the cable car in a safely fenced open-air balcony. You need to book the Royal Ride in advance for a specific day and time slot. You pay separately for each direction.

Note: The Royal Ride is only available during summer season, from late May to late October.
