Standseilbahn HandeggâWasserschloss Handeggfluh Ărlen was one of the funiculars of Kraftwerke Oberhasli built for its hydroelectric plants at Grimsel, in the canton of Bern, Switzerland. It led from Handeck (or Handegg) at 1410 m [note 1] to Handeckfluh Erlen (or Handeggfluh Ărlen) at 1680 m, on the side of the Hasli valley opposite of Gelmerbahn. [2] [3] The line had a length of 867 m [2] [1] and a difference of elevation of 270 m. [2]
Built in 1848 for Kraftwerk Handegg II, it had a single car operated by an electric winch. [2]
The funicular was considered of regional importance in Schweizer Seilbahninventar, the heritage inventory of Swiss cableways of 2011, among others due to its preserved original state. [2]
The autorisation for transport of people was cancelled in 2013. [1] The funicular ceased transport of goods in 2015. [1]
