A cableway is a timetable with a mountain attached. Everything below is published rather than promised: the first and last haul of each season, the interval, and the windows when the rope is running but not for passengers.
The four timetables
| Season | First up | Last up | Last down | Interval | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Winter · 01 Dec — 14 Apr | 08:00 | 16:30 | 17:00 | 18 s | Night haul Thursdays, last car down 21:20. |
| Spring · 15 Apr — 31 May | 09:00 | 16:00 | 16:30 | 40 s | Reduced fleet during the rope inspection window. |
| Summer · 01 Jun — 30 Sep | 07:30 | 18:00 | 18:30 | 24 s | Mid-station open; bike hooks on every second cabin. |
| Autumn · 01 Oct — 30 Nov | — | — | — | — | Line closed for the annual overhaul. |
The interval is what the rope does, not what you wait: at 18 seconds the next car is already in the station when you reach the barrier. Reduced fleet in spring means 40 seconds, which is the only season anyone queues.
What runs when the line is closed to passengers
| Window | What is on the rope |
|---|---|
| 05:30 | Freight conversion, hut resupply to the Mittelalp. |
| 07:10 | Empty haul: the line runs a full circuit before the first passenger. |
| 19:15 | Second freight, plus the day's waste down. |
| Nightly | Grip test on two cars in rotation, twelve-week cycle. |
| 01 Oct — 30 Nov | Annual overhaul: sheave train, full non-destructive rope scan. |
