About this audio guide
This audio guide to Sunnegga above Zermatt is about the ride that brings you here: a funicular buried inside the mountain, opened in nineteen eighty as a bold piece of Swiss engineering. It looks at the strange shape of its cars, the meeting of two trains in the dark, and the drag lifts and chairlifts it replaced. Best heard on the terrace just outside the upper station.
