The construction sites for the V-Cableway in Grindelwald Grund and on the Eiger glacier are running as normal.

The building owners are fully implementing the official regulations regarding hygiene and distancing related to coronavirus on all construction sites. These can be implemented without any issues as there is sufficient space on large construction sites to ensure the necessary distance between individual construction workers during work and breaks. In terms of group transport, the number of people per vehicle is reduced by distributing them over several vehicles. Plenty of parking spaces are available. The construction sites in Grindelwald Grund and on the Eiger glacier are still running as normal.

In terms of group transport, the number of people per vehicle is reduced by distributing them over several vehicles. There are enough parking spaces available. The construction sites at Grindelwald Grund and on the Eiger Glacier are therefore continuing to operate normally (as at: 25/03/2020).

The construction sites in Grindelwald Grund and on the Eiger glacier are still running as normal. Work at the tricable gondola Eiger Express summit station is currently several weeks behind schedule; all other sub-projects are on track.

The new Grindelwald Terminal stop on the BOB and the Männlichen Railway have been operating successfully for 6 weeks.
The construction sites in Grindelwald Grund and on the Eiger glacier continue to operate normally after the Christmas break. All sub-projects are on track.

After 18 months of construction, we are aiming to make 14/12 the first of the two commissioning dates. The new Grindelwald Terminal BOB station and the Männlichen Railway will be become operational on this day. Part of the terminal will also be used by our guests for the operation of the Männlichen Railway.

Die Baustellen in Grindelwald Grund, am Eigergletscher und bei der Männlichenbahn laufen im Normalbetrieb. Die Arbeiten an der Strecke 3S werden aufgrund der späten Schneefälle im Verlaufe des Monats Juni aufgenommen. Alle Teilprojekte sind auf Kurs.

Thanks to the stable winter weather, important construction progress has been possible in recent weeks. The construction sites in Grindelwald Grund and on the Eiger glacier are running as normal. From April, work will resume on the Männlichen Railway.

Since the start of construction of the V-Cableway, significant contracts have already been awarded to companies in the region. Overall, by the end of 2018, orders totalling CHF 100.5 million were granted to companies from the Bernese Oberland. This corresponds to 95% of the order value at the end of 2018 (excluding Garaventa cable cars).

Thanks to long periods of fine weather and warm temperatures until late autumn, it was possible to rapidly advance construction work on the V-Cableway. The schedule is tight, however. In order to open the Grindelwald-Männlichen gondola cableway and the Eigerexpress on time, Jungfrau Railways and the GGM are investing in winter construction measures.

With the delivery of the new BKW transformer station to Grindelwald Grund, an important milestone in the V-Cableway project can be realised before Christmas. This clears the way for the old transformer station to be dismantled in spring 2019 and for the V-Cableway to be built in good time. The new transformer station will ensure Grindelwald’s entire power supply from April 2019.

The building work on the V-Cableway is on course and all sub-projects are running at full speed. Thanks to the consistently optimal weather conditions, important progress was made between July and November. The current construction site information contains a list of the most important information and the central construction works of the coming weeks.

All construction work will stop between Friday 21/12/2018 and Sunday 06/01/2019. On Monday 07/01/2019 the construction works at the Grund terminal and Eiger Glacier will be resumed
