Åre, Sweden - Dec 14, 2018: A red trolley at the mountain railroad at the ski resort Åre in Sweden, opened 1908 as the first permanent connection up to the mountain.; Shutterstock ID 1259682724;

This lovely old mountain railway was completed in 1910 along with the first ski lifts in Åre. These days, the funicular is run by SkiStar during winter and Hotel Fjällgården keeps it operating in the evenings and at other times to get guests to the hotel. The trip takes seven minutes and is included for hotel guests.
