As you can imagine news like this excites me: The steepest cable car in the world is about to begin operation in – wherelse – Switzerland. The Schilthornbahn on Piz Gloria takes passengers from Stechelberg (near the Eiger in the Kanton Bern) to toe summit of Piz Gloria. You ask yourself now where you remember this name? Yes, you remember correctly. It’s from James Bond, of course. ‘On her Majesty’s Secret Service’ the only, and slightly odd, but equally amazing Bond with George Lazenby featured the summit restaurant and lodge prominently.
There’s a lot of masculine postering and unbecoming bravado still going around in our world today, but I’m glad that in this type of engineering we can now break records and announce superlatives without us having to immediately think of the Hindenburg or the Titanic. And this also isn’t just an announcement of a pipe dream to juice the stock of an electric carmaker, but it’s actually in operation now. Figure that.
