Ropeways are inextricably linked to Switzerland, shaping the country‘s image as a destination for sports and nature. However, the urban variant has struggled to gain a foothold. Nevertheless, several projects are underway, some of which are already quite far along.
Digital Nudging: How do you get people to be sustainably mobile?
Digital nudging motivates people to use more sustainable mobility options, such as switching from the car to cycling or public transport, or walking. The focus is on “soft interventions” that can be implemented digitally and work without restrictions or bans.

Urban infrastructure projects require solid preparation and planning, yet for ropeways in particular, this is often ignored. Ideas are frequently presented to the public without first verifying which mobility needs are actually being met and what the impact of these improvements will be. The successfully implemented “Câble C1“ project near Paris demonstrates how to do it right.
