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.
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.
