From 1907 until today

When the mountain railway was being planned in Zug, famous mountain railways were already in operation on the neighbouring mountains, whose bold installations had attracted attention far beyond Switzerland's borders.

The maiden voyage of the Zugerberg railway in spring 1907 was celebrated in the Kurhaus Schönfels. The first few years were difficult. Fewer passengers than hoped visited the Zugerberg.
The "Golden Twenties" then brought the longed-for figures. The Zugerberg rose in favour with visitors from near and far.
Shortly after the Zugerberg Railway's 75th birthday, it was extensively modernised and renovated. It was rebuilt again in 2009: The Zugerberg Railway was made wheelchair accessible; various modifications to the valley and mountain stations as well as new panoramic carriages made it possible to reach the Zugerberg without steps.
