Tschuggen Express

Tschuggen Express is a funicular railway in Arosa, Switzerland. It leads from Arosa at 1850 m to Tschuggen at 2004 m in the Arosa skiing area on Tschuggen (2049 m). The single-track line with a length of 535 m has an average incline of 38% and a difference of elevation of 154 m. The two circular cabins for 6 persons each are coupled and have level compensation.

The funicular is operated by Arosa Bergbahnen for the Tschuggen Hotel Group. It was completed by Steurer Seilbahnen in 2018, replacing a monorail installation from 2009 and reusing its stations.
