Sternensauser, Switzerland

From series “The Longest Ski-Lifts and Cable Trams in the World”
Lenght: 2 000 meters.

Extreme sports fans who want to ride original zip-line have to go to Switzerland, to Hoch-Ibrig ski resort. This is where one of the most unusual ropeways on the planet, Sternensauser, operates. The device is very simple; it’s based on a high-strength cable stretched between the initial and intermediate stations. Sternensauser has no classic cabins with large panoramic windows, instead, there’s a special mounting system designed for one passenger.

Sternensauser, Switzerland A complex of fixtures is connected to the roller using special cable system; that’s how it moves. Such a system is called Flying Fox, the motion of cable car is carried under passenger’s own weight. It’s important that this allows zip-line to build up a reasonable speed up to 90 km/h.

Sternensauser is about 2 kilometers, so it’s the longest aerial runway of its kind on the planet. Driving upside down has been originally conceived as a fun ride. Experienced travelers say that trip by zip-line is no less impressive than parajumping and a feeling of free flight simply unique. It’s also worth mentioning that Sternensauser is available in summer only. The fare is about 70 Swiss francs. Next - Mishor AI Petri

Top destination around Sternensauser - Zug


The center of the eponymous Swiss canton is situated on the foothill of Zugerberg Mount on the shore of picturesque Zugerzee approximately 425m above the sea level. The nature of Switzerland is very picturesque, and Zug neighborhoods perfectly expose this fact in all its glory, so there’s no wonder why this place is often called a true paradise for tourists.

Zug Canton has one distinct feature – it has the most liberal tax legislation. This fact determines the presence of a large number of wealthy people. However, you will not often see this luxury in the look of residents.

Start your acquaintance with this town from making an evening promenade. It’s really hard to find words to describe the glory sunset above the lake. However, the beauty of the embankment is no less striking. You will also find here small streets with original buildings, which are generously decorated with all sorts of ornaments. The pedestrian streets of the town are so wonderful that you can walk here tirelessly. Zytturm Tower with its clock is the symbol of Zug. The embankment is also a location of a small zoo with an amazing collection of ibises. Even though this town is rather small, it features a large number of museums. Museum in der Burg (in the fortress) is particularly interesting. However, Museums of Africa, Fishing, Tile Manufacturing and Ancient History, as well as the local art gallery are also very interesting and informative.
