Two lines of the Rhaetian Railway have stations near the funicular's base station: Punt Muragl on the Samedan–Pontresina line and Punt Muragl Staz on the Bernina line (St. Moritz-Pontresina).

Completed in 1907,^[2] it was the longest single-section funicular in Switzerland,^[3][4][5] longer lines having separate sections. The original concession allowed operation in summer only, but this was changed in 1908 already.^[6][7] The name was initially written "Muottas Muraigl".^[6]

The line was rebuilt in 1992, earlier specifications are different.^[1]

The funicular is owned and operated by Engadin St. Moritz Mountains AG.^[8]
