The cable cars in Stechelberg allow you to reach the alpine villages Gimmelwald and Mürren. From Mürren, you can continue higher up the mountain to the Schilthorn peak.
How to get there
By public transport: From the Lauterbrunnen train station, a bus runs every 30 mins to the Stechelberg (Schilthornbahn) stop, a 14 min journey.
By car: There is a large metered parking lot next to the Stechelberg cable car station, about 10 min drive from Lauterbrunnen. See location on map.
Timetable
Starting in Nov 2024, there is a new direct cable car from Stechelberg to Mürren, without stopping in Gimmelwald. This is the fastest and more efficient route for most visitors. This cable car runs every 30 mins from 8:21 to 17:51.
The older cable cars go from Stechelberg to Gimmelwald. Then change to a second cable car up to Mürren. These older cable cars have a longer schedule, starting around 6am until almost midnight. They run every 30 mins until 8pm, then every hour. See current timetables.
Tickets
The ticket you buy depends on where you want to go. Most day trippers will need a round trip ticket to either Mürren or Schilthorn. See current prices.
These cable cars are free with the Swiss Travel Pass, Berner Oberland Pass, SBB Saver Day Pass, and GA.
