• Trams 2 and 3 stop at Römerhof, right by the bottom station, so it is easy to tie into a city day
• Two stops on the way, at Titlisstrasse and Waldhaus Dolder, if you only want part of the climb
• Run by VBZ, the city transport operator, with a car roughly every 10 minutes

The Dolderbahn is a cogwheel railway that climbs 1.3 km from Römerhof up the Adlisberg in about six minutes, rising 162 m on a gradient of roughly 19%. It is one of the few rack railways inside a city.

The red cars, new in 2024, pass grand houses and woodland on the way to the Dolder top station, the stop for the Dolder ice rink, wave pool and woods.
