    Is it possible to use a wheelchair on cable cars and other mountain transportation? Where can a wheelchair be rented in Lauterbrunnen? If medical attention is needed, where does one access that? Thank you!

    Hi Axelante1,

    Most mountain transportation in Switzerland are accessible to wheelchair users. Staff at the counters are usually more than happy to offer help upon request. In case of medical emergency, you can call 144 or notify the nearest station.
