Parsenn funicular

The Parsenn Funicular (German: Davos Parsenn Bahn, DPB) is a funicular railway in the resort of Davos in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. The line links the town of Davos with the Weissfluhjoch ridge and the Parsenn ski area. The funicular is composed of two separate and independent sections, with an

interchange station between the two at Höhenweg. The lowest station (Davos DKB) lies at an elevation of 1,560 metres (5,120 ft) and the highest (Weissfluhjoch DKB) lies at an elevation of 2,665 metres (8,743 ft). The highest section is the highest open-air funicular in Switzerland and the second highest after the Metro Alpin. Considering both sections, which have a total length of 4,048 metres (13,281 ft), the line is also one of the longest in the country. The funicular is operated by Davos Klosters Bergbahnen AG.
