About this audio guide
This guide to Männlichen, the ridge above Grindelwald near Interlaken, follows Peter Inäbnit, the man who looked after the machinery of the gondola line from Grindelwald in December nineteen seventy-eight, on the day it opened to the public. It reaches back to the decade of wrangling with farmers and landowners over every pylon, and to the little four-seat cabins locals nicknamed the Würfeli. Best heard looking down the slope toward Grindelwald, with the gondolas climbing toward you.
