The Canadian ski designer Paul Mathews had taken the Jungfrau region under the microscope, pointing to a possible future scenario.


His suggestions to the Jungfrau region can be accommodated in the future, in a nutshell:

The relationship between parking, beds and feeder systems must be improved(Mürren-Schilthorn, Kleine Scheidegg and Grindelwald-First Male) lanes would be replaced or renewed. In addition to first create a new freeride area that is accessible from the Bachläger again (see chart).

New 8-person gondola from Grindelwald to Bodmi station (450 meters in the tunnel).
New group orbit of the reason for the sports center and a car-free village street.
New Central Railway (Project Ypsilon, 3600 person capacity per hour) from the ground after Tschuggen with connection to the Scheidegg and masculine.
New cable car from the water station in Wengen over to Winteregg to link the areas of Kleine Scheidegg and Schilthorn better.

"Today you need from Grindelwald to the Schilthorn approximately one and a half hours, this should be doable in a new half-hour to be," said Mathews. belaufen. The estimated cost for all plants in the current situation would amount to some 300 million . "But do not panic, everything else is perfect," he says at the end of his remarks with a laugh.
