Many Swiss cities have a mountain or hill on their doorstep, reached by funicular, cog railway or cable car. These guides explain which line goes where, how long the ride takes and what you see from the top.
Mountain lines run on seasonal timetables and some close for maintenance in spring and late autumn; each guide links the operator.
