Small cableways are particularly important in Switzerland's mountain regions - both in the past and today. As simple, reliable, economical, ecological, winter-proof and very safe transport facilities, they provide access to mountain farms, alps, hamlets and small villages. And we all appreciate the access to attractive panoramic hikes in our leisure time. This book presents the diversity of small cableways in Switzerland. Thirty portraits bring the fascination for hikers and connoisseurs to life. These are real highlights for those interested in technology, but also for all those who prefer to experience an "adventure" in the great outdoors rather than in a modern leisure park.
