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

The building work on the V-Cableway is on course and all sub-projects are running at full speed. Thanks to the long-lasting summer weather, important progress was achieved in July and August. The current construction site information contains the most important construction works of the coming weeks. An overview plan shows exactly where the measures are being implemented.

There is a lot of activity at the construction site in Grindelwald Grund. At the same time, intensive work is already being carried out at the summit station of the Eigerexpress tricable gondola. In order to fully maintain the operation of the Jungfrau Railway, various work on the Eiger Glacier must also be carried out at night until the start of winter.

Construction work on the V-Cableway has been in full swing since mid-June 2018. Work has already started on all of the sub-projects. The current construction site information contains a list of the most important construction works of the coming weeks. An overview plan (see image 2 of the communication above), where the individual measures are precisely put into place.

After more than five years of planning, the V-Cableway project is about to be realised. In order to keep to the tight schedule, construction is planned to begin on 4 June 2018. The parking situation in Grindelwald Grund is currently being adapted to the installation of construction site logistics.

After more than five years of planning, Jungfrau Railways and Männlichen Railway expect to receive planning permission including the V-Cableway license by the end of May 2018. In order to keep to the tight schedule, construction is planned to begin on 4 June 2018. To this end, various preparatory work is necessary in advance, which the two railway companies in coordination with the municipality of Grindelwald will carry out from the end of April 2018.
