100 FUF Falginjochbahn / Kaunertaler Glacier

Cable car suspended on wires, traveling over a snowy mountain landscape with a clear blue sky in the background.

Thanks to a wide gauge, a special rope guidance configuration, and the Funifor carriage, the Falginjoch ropeway is extremely wind-stable. Only two towers are needed along the entire route of 2,000 m. The upper terminal is supplied with energy via the Stressless

Data track rope with electric conductor and optical waveguide, which makes excavation work unnecessary. Traveling at speeds of up to 12 meters per second, 100 passengers per car reach the Falginjoch at 3,113 meters within less than four minutes.
