ETFE facade Stanserhornbahn
Cable support ETFE facade
The facades of the mountain and valley stations of the Stanserhorn cable car are covered with transparent sheaths of rope-supported ETFE foils. The total facade area is 832 m². Due to the high altitude of the stations with up to 1,850 m above sea level, enormous wind loads and temperature differences had to be taken into account in the design of the construction.
