Historic moment

Dismantling of two funicular carriages of the traditional funicular between Unterwasser and the Iltios high plateau

After the last trip on Easter Monday, the funicular carriages were lifted off the rails. Back in 1974, as today, EMIL EGGER took care of the logistics.

For half a century, the two carriages traveled between Unterwasser and Iltios on the 1934 stone viaduct.

One of the seven-ton historic carriages is housed in the cable car museum in Kandersteg. The second carriage currently remains in Toggenburg and is waiting for a worthy future – which is being sought by means of an ideas competition.

The Hawker Hunter aeroplane is safely back at the Hunter association Obersimmental
Until a few years ago, the former Hunter fighter aircraft of the Swiss Air Force were among the highlights at airshows in Switzerland. So was the Papyrus Hunter. The jet has been looked after and maintained by the Hunter association Obersimmental for many years. Unfortunately, the increasingly strict regulations became its downfall. In autumn 2023, the Papyrus was flown over to Altenrhein for its annual inspection. It was no longer allowed to take off from there.
