Cable cars in winter operation – off to the snow, but in comfort

When winter calls, the cable cars in the Glarus region respond with a clear message: ‘Hop on, sit back, and off you go!’ Whether it’s the gondola to Braunwald, which takes you directly to the family ski area, the Elm sports cable cars with perfect access to slopes and toboggan runs, or the Kerenzerberg cable cars, which take you to the start of the evening toboggan adventure in no time at all – here, snow fun is made easy. No sweating, no lugging: you float up to the top in comfort and start your winter experience with a panorama, not a pulse. This is what winter comfort feels like – a little bit of happiness with every cable car ride.

Get on board, go up – winter is waiting for you.
