Idyllic old town. It's a shame it's not a pedestrian zone.

https://www.luftseilbahnseebodenalp.ch/ A newly renovated cable car, which carries 110 passengers per hour, leads to Seebodenalp. The public bus stops in front of the cable car and goes directly to Küssnacht SBB station. The road to Seebodenalp has also been recently renovated. However, it is steep, narrow in places, partially single-lane, and has limited passing places. On nice summer days, dangerous traffic chaos regularly occurs when many vehicles converge and a complete standstill threatens – at that point, the transport service will probably not let you go up at all. The cable car, bicycle, or walking can be a much better option, depending on the crowds, the weather, or your driving skills.
