With the cable Ferries of Basel

avatar

Today, I invite you to enjoy a unique experience in Basel that will take you from one side of the Rhine to the other. Basel has four cable car ferries that offer a quick and cheap way to get from one side to the other. These crossings are much more than just a form of transport, they are an experience that offers a glimpse into the history, culture, and charm of Basel.

The Basel ferries dont use engines they are fixed on a long metal cable and move from one bank to the other simply thanks to the river current. They operate all year round and offer a peaceful experience where time seems to stand still. Only the water level is very high, the ferries stop to run. You can also rent for events.

What a fabulous experience it must be to ride in a boat that doesn't use motors, and the peace you feel allows you to arrive calmly and without rushing wherever you're going.

I think this is a great feat to achieve! Very efficient way to travel from point A to point B.
