MATTERHORN
World’s Largest Operational
Hyperloop Testing Hub

MATTERHORN is the world's largest, most cost-effective hyperloop testing hub. Under construction at the Pueblo Plex campus in Colorado, United States, the test track will also feature the largest vacuum chamber in the country.

Named after the iconic Swiss peak, MATTERHORN embodies the spirit of overcoming challenges. Just as climbers strive to  conquer the mountain, engineers here are breaking new ground in innovation.

GIANT LEAP IN
HYPERLOOP TESTING

Spanning 162,000 square meters with a slightly elliptical design, the Matterhorn test-track mirrors its predecessor in Switzerland, LIMITLESS, yet at a larger scale.

The project's goal is to test and validate Swisspod’s propulsion system and full-scale cargo components in real-world conditions. These experiments aim to turn hyperloop from science fiction into reality, opening a new era where high-speed transportation is the norm.
