The Lauterbrunnen to Grutchalp funicular, which has served the area for over 100 years, was replaced in April 2006 by a new cable car. A funicular is a cable tram that uses two cars, each a counterweight to the other. You can see the spot in the tracks where the tracks diverge to let the cars pass by each other at the halfway point.
