Hiking

The Rigiblick cable car runs from Universitätstrasse up to Rigiblick in Zurich's Oberstrass district. Since it opened in 1901, it has been modernized several times. In 1979, it was put into operation as the first fully automatic cable car in Switzerland and is used by around 600,000 passengers a year.
