V-cableway
The V-cableway is a planned gondola cableway with a shared base station at Grindelwald with one route to Männlichen and the other to Eigergletscher railway station. It is being built by Jungfraubahn AG.Project
The project has two aims. Firstly it will replace the Grindelwald–Männlichen gondola cableway which dates from 1978 with a larger capacity gondola service a reduce journey times to Männlichen by 12 minutes. Secondly it will reduce travelling times for visitors to the Jungfraujoch by providing a direct connection, known as the Eiger Express, from a new station on the Berner Oberland Bahn at Rothenegg to Eigergletscher railway station.
Construction started in the summer of 2018 and the CHF 400m project is estimated to be completed in 2020.
