FollowYesterday’s snow petered out at dinner time, and we all went up to the Caprice to see Bevez and Ibe. A good night out.
This morning I’m off up to Männlichen. It’s a beautiful day.
Pistes are crowded.
The Jungfraubahn are building 2 new lifts. The first of these is already open – you can see it in the picture above. The second will open next December, and will take passengers from Grund to Eigerglescher.
In addition to the lifts a new terminal is being built, along with a new railway station. Let’s have a look around.
The terminal is still very much a work in progress.
It’s huge, with lots of space for shops and restaurants. It feels like an unfinished airport terminal.
Outside, work is progressing on the lift to Eigerglescher, known as the Eiger Express.
This will get passengers up to the top in an astonishing 15 minutes.
All these passengers need to get to the terminal somehow, so a multi story carpark is being built. A new railway station is already complete.
It’s a huge undertaking, costing 470 million francs.
Meanwhile, up at Scheidegg it’s team photo time for Altitude Ski School.
