History

The first aerial tramway was built in 1957 and connected Huserenberg with Rothenfluh. An additional one from Rickenbach to Huserenberg was then built in 1964. [5] It operated until 2 November 2004, [6] when it was closed due to security concerns. [7] It was then demolished in 2009. [8]

In 2005, Nathalie Henseler became the CEO of Seilbahn Rickenbach-Rotenfluh AG, and at the general assembly, it was decided to begin planning a new lift. [6] The planning took several years, partly due to objections to the planning application that went all the way to the Federal Supreme Court. [9] [10] Notable investors of the new lift include: The municipality, district and canton of Schwyz, the Schwyzer Kantonalbank, the Swiss government. [11] [12] After 8 years of planning the new lift was approved in July 2013 by the Federal Office of Transport. [11] Construction began in October 2013 with the groundbreaking on 17 October. [1] The lift opened after a year of construction on 9 December 2014. [6]
