How much did Funicular Schwyz–Stoos cost to build?
The Stoos funicular (Standseilbahn Schwyz-Stoos, Stoosbahn) is the funicular of about 1.7 km between Schwyz-Schlattli and Stoos in the Swiss canton of Schwyz, the steepest funicular railway in the world with a maximum gradient of 110 percent, operated by Stoosbahnen AG and opened in December 2017 about two years later than planned. The Luzerner Zeitung reported in August 2018 that the whole project had come to cost 88 million Swiss francs, 36 million more than the budget at the start of construction.
