The Sunnegga-Rothorn valley station (1,620 m) lies beside the Vispa, the river that flows through Zermatt. The ticket counter area is located by the entrance of a long tunnel fitted with electronic information panels. Since 1980, a funicular has carried Swiss and foreign guests up to Sunnegga. In former days the area had a walkers’ lift and then a chairlift; the funicular was Switzerland’s first to run entirely underground. The funicular was fully renovated in 2013, and now has a capacity of 2,550 passengers per hour. The ride takes 3 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We thought that we were really lucky to approach the lake and see a heron there,
waiting patiently to catch a fish...............

Only to find that it was plastic!
