The revolving restaurant at 1,898 metres, which opened in 2001, will be replaced with a CHF34 million new project.<\/p>\n

The new building, designed by the Graub\u00fcnden-based business Weitschies Kr\u00e4henb\u00fchl, was presented today by the Stanserhorn Bahn company and is scheduled for completion between 2028 and 2030. <\/p>\n

The structure will be built on three storeys and the new wood and glass fa\u00e7ades will be in keeping with the surrounding alpine landscape, it was stated.<\/p>\n

The current Rondorama rotating panorama restaurant, built inside four months and a cost of CHF4.5 million, no longer meets modern requirements, the company explained. <\/p>\n

This is also due to the increased influx of visitors after the introduction of the new CabriO double-decker cable car. <\/p>\n

Once completed, the new complex will include a 120-seat self-service restaurant, a 60-seat table-service restaurant, banquet space for up to 150 people and rooms for conducting seminars. Two panoramic terraces are also planned.<\/p>\n

Despite the expansion, the promoters emphasise that the peak in the central Swiss Alps is not intended to become a destination for mass tourism. <\/p>\n

The capacity of the iconic cable car will remain limited, Stanserhorn Bahn specified, transporting a maximum of 234 people per hour.<\/p>\n

During the works, the site will remain accessible, albeit with reduced capacity. Financing arrangements for the project have not yet been finalised.<\/p>\n
