The
first funicular of the Neuchatel canton was opened
in 1890. It links the Plan belvedere to the Neuchatel
center.
Ecluse - Plan funicular was transformed in 1907,
1942, 1975 and 1985. It is an automatic funicular
since 1922 ! It is not really a lift because it
is not an "on demand" incline. There
is no conductor, the courses are automatic every
10 minutes.
The line is composed of 3 tunnels and 2 intermediate
optional stops : Boine, Côte. The passengers
who want to get out or to get in must press a
button like in a normal lift.
