Known as the 'Hammetschwand', Europe's tallest outdoor elevator is likened to a 'stairway to paradise', as the experience it offers during your European journey truly surpasses imagination.
Constructed clinging to the sheer cliffs of Burgenstock Mountain in Switzerland over 110 years ago, the 'Hammetschwand' still holds the title of Europe's tallest outdoor elevator.
More than just a means of transporting people to great heights, the Hammetschwand is also referred to as a 'stairway to paradise' due to the experience it provides when riding this elevator, which truly exceeds imagination.
Hammetschwand takes travelers on a 152.4-meter vertical journey in just 1 minute. With its glass design, passengers have the opportunity to admire the majestic and romantic natural scenery of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains throughout the journey.
Of course, along with this heavenly scenery comes a thrilling sensation as travelers are propelled at high speed into the sky. It's worth noting that when Hammetschwand was first inaugurated, it was made of wood and metal panels, and you can imagine the hair-raising feeling of riding this elevator back then.
To reach and experience the tallest outdoor elevator in Europe, travelers can walk, take a train, or a bus. However, it's important to note that Hammetschwand is only open during the summer and on windy days!
