Standseilbahn Linth-Limmern

The Standseilbahn Linth-Limmern is a funicular railway at the Linth-Limmern pumped storage plant in the Canton of Glarus in Switzerland. Built in 2013 for a transport capacity of 215 tonne,   the funicular moved the four transformers of the hydroelectric plant from Tierfehd at an elevation of 816 m to the machinery cavern of the Limmern plant at 1697 m. This made it the highest-capacity funicular. The 3778 m line, passing through a tunnel, has an elevation difference of 882 m and an incline of 24 per cent. The single track has a passing loop for the descending car.

Since the completion of the plant's expansion, the funicular is used by the staff of and visitors to the hydroelectric plant. It is owned by Kraftwerke Linth-Limmern AG (KLL), a joint venture of Axpo (85%) and the Canton of Glarus (15%).

The lower station is accessed through a short tunnel from Tierfehd, near the aerial cableways to Kalktrittli and Baumgartenalp: 46.87842°N, 8.98714°W.

The upper station is in the machinery cavern near the dam of Limmernsee; 46.84878°N, 9.01087°W. In proximity, another underground funicular leads from Kavernenzentrale Muttsee at 1870 m to Muttenkopf at 2393 m, near Muttsee.

The funicular was built by Garaventa. A tunnel boring machine (TBM) with a diameter of 8 m was used to excavate the tunnel.
