The
Wetterhorn is a
mountain in the
Swiss Alps close to the village of
Grindelwald. Sir
Winston Churchill climbed the Wetterhorn in
1894.
Its peak was also the intended terminal for the world's first people-carrying
aerial tramway, but only the first quarter section of the lift was built and in operation until the beginning of
World War 1.
