Funicular Rigiblick

The Funicular Rigiblick is a funicular railway in the north-east of the city of Zürich, Switzerland. It links a lower station served by Zürich tram routes 9 and 10 and Zürich trolleybus route 33, with an upper station at Rigiblick on the Zürichberg hill.

History
The line first operated on 4 April 1901. In the early 1950s it was refurbished, replacing the original wooden cable cars with metal bodied cars in a red colour scheme. A further refurbishment in the late 1970s resulted in an extension at the upper end of the line, and the introduction of the current cars, in blue and white. Over summer 2025, the stations were renovated and the line received new wagons from Garaventa. The funicular resumed service on 26 September 2025. == Operation ==
