The
only funicular of the canton of Schwyz is located
in the Muotatal and, since 1933, it is the easiest
and fastest way to reach the plateau of Stoos.
The first impression when you see and use this
funicular is an impression of power and strength.
At Schlattli station, the incline railway has
to pass over the deep Muota gorge on an 108 meter
length iron bridge and immediately climbs the
steep slope to reach Stoos. A 227 meter length
tunnel is located just in the middle of the line.
The maximum gradient 78,1 % of the track is one
of the steepest of Switzerland.
The cabins of the DSS are easily recognizable,
they are made of 5 separated compartments arranged
as stairs.
