Useful Information

How to Reach there

you can drive or take a bus to the valley station shown below where you will take a funicular train up the mountain. The train is scheduled to run every 30 minutes.

By car: The Stoos funicular doesn’t have an address, so I usually put Illgau as my destination in my GPS, which is at town a little past the Stoosbahn. You’ll see the funicular base station on your right before reaching Illgau. Park in the metered lot next to the station.

By transit: Take a train to Schwyz, Bahnhof, then bus #1 to Schwyz, Stoosbahn, which is adjacent to the funicular base station.
