Prototype information:
Engelberg is a peaceful health resort in Switzerland, not far from Lucerne. It boasts an attraction that has attracted international attention: a cable car that the Swiss deemed worthy of inclusion in the "Swissminiatur" park as one of the country's most significant sights.

The 45-minute trip up Mount Titlis is a special kind of experience. From gentle green valley floors, it ascends into a high-alpine glacier world. Those who wish to reach the summit station at an altitude of 3,020 meters board the world's first revolving aerial cable car. The rotating gondola floor continuously opens up new, spectacular views of crevasses, icefalls, and rock formations. Impressive mountain panoramas and, weather permitting, unique long-distance views alternate continuously, making the 45-minute ride fly by. A fantastic opportunity for model railroaders to unleash their creativity when designing sophisticated mountain landscapes.
