Max-Bill-Platz Seilbähnli

The Max-Bill-Platz Seilbähnli is a historic means of transport that was brought to life in the 19th century to carry the workers of the Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon (MFO) from their homes to the factory. This cable railway has an eventful history behind it; over the decades, the railway took on ever smaller dimensions due to neglect and financial difficulties, and only reached its current size at the beginning of the 21st century.

In the summer of 2021, the Seilbähnli underwent a comprehensive restoration that once again allows the public to enjoy this attraction. The next major step took place in December 2021, when the railway was electrified. Since then, it has shone in colorful hues every evening and offers not only nostalgic rides but also a visual attraction for visitors.

Rides on the Seilbähnli are irregular and can also be organized by telephone request, offering a flexible way to enjoy the excellent view and learn more about the history of the railway. The cable railway itself blends seamlessly into the surroundings of Max-Bill-Platz, which is characterized by its connection to industrial history and its cultural significance.

With its unique atmosphere and impressive technical history, the Max-Bill-Platz Seilbähnli attracts both locals and tourists who want to learn more about the history of the region or simply enjoy a relaxed ride in a historic means of transport. This makes it an ideal destination for families, history enthusiasts, and visitors who want to experience the charming surroundings and the technical facets of the former industry.
