	The STRMTG web site - Aerial ropeways
		Chairlifts, almost all gondola lifts, funitels and a few reversible or pulsed movement aerial ropeways belong to this category, representing 95% of aerial ropeways used by skiers in ski resorts worldwide.
		A funitel is more expensive than a monocable gondola lift (TCD) and its use is reserved for applications where its advantages are determining.
		The only exception is the reversible funitel that is able to be equipped with bigger cabins thanks to its two carrying-hauling ropes.

		The FUNITEL is currently the most sophisticated and most efficient cable transport system.
		The cost of this type of equipment being quite high, its selection is only recommended in case high capacity and reliability are essential for the commercial operation of the installation.
		The mechanical equipment of a FUNITEL is significant and complex.

	The Arlberg “Ferris Wheel” now well an truly open
		As reported in ISR 8/2005, the traditional jigback serving the Galzig mountain from St.Anton am Arlberg has now been replaced by a Doppelmayr Funitel.The new system, with its unusual Ferris wheel layout for carrier handling in the lower terminal, was inaugurated on 9 December.
		The design is certainly an exciting solution, and in terms of engineering, too, it is very impressive to see the two huge double wheels (four sheaves) handle the difference in height between the passenger loading level and the terminal departure and arrival level for the Funitel cabins.
		In combination with the fantastic glass and steel design of the lower terminal, which really puts this unique piece of ropeway engineering in the spotlight, the new Galzigbahn is doubtless this year’s most spectacular new installation.

	Funitel - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		A funitel is a type of aerial lift consisting of one or two loops of cable strung between two terminals over intermediate towers.
		The name funitel is a conjunction between the French words funicular and teleferique.
		In order to maximize stability of the passenger cabins, the cables are arraged in two pairs moving in separate directions.

		Designed for 24 hour operation, 360 days per year, with 20 cabins of 20 seated passengers each, with a maximum transport capacity of 2.000 pph and maximum side wind resistance up to 120 km/h, that particular installation comprises the best technology can offer on a world-wide basis.
		The Funitel will replace the existing reversible ropeway built in 1972 and it will be built on a line parallel to the one of the existing installation.
		Due to the roughness of the terrain and the fact that the forest in Parnitha is a national forest strictly protected by Greek and European legislation, the installation of the towers will be accomplished with the use of a material ropeway with a length of 1,2 km and a carrying capacity of 6,0 ton.

		Squaw Valley is accused of engaging in a series of violations of the Clean Water Act and the Rivers and Harbors Act, according to the EPA’s affidavit requesting the search warrant.
		The resort was accused of illegally blasting a mountainside away for the tram and moving the debris to a slope above Squaw Creek, allowing it to wash into the creek.
		But the problems over the Funitel weren’t the first between Lahontan and the resort that hosted the 1960 Winter Olympics.

	ETEMA - Funitel, Mont Parnes
		On Friday, April 7 2006, at 18:00, the new Funitel of Regency Casino Mont Parnes (outskirts of Athens) began its commercial operation, exactly at the same time that the old reversible ropeway – built in 1972 – complete its last trip.
		The Funitel marks the second big co-operation between ETEMA and the Austrian manufacturer, after the Lycabettus funicular (center of Athens).
		The official opening was held on June 20, 2006, in the presence of Greece’s Vice-Minister of Finance.

	The Galzigbahn Ferris wheels
		The new system — a replacement for a jigback that had seen several modifications since its construction back in 1937 — is a double monocable installation (Funitel) with a double haul rope loop, a design that Doppelmayr has already employed a number of times.
		What makes the Galzigbahn Funitel unique in ropeway engineering is the Ferris wheel solution adopted for carrier handling in the lower terminal, where they are lowered and lifted almost 10 m to negotiate the difference in height between the passenger loading and unloading level and the line level for gondola arrival and launching.
		This Ferris wheel configuration comprises two huge wheels for each line, with the gondolas suspended between the two wheels for terminal conveyance just like a Ferris wheel in an amusement park.

	ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1998: SKIING; The Funitel - New York Times
		Squaw Valley U.S.A., the fabled California ski resort, yesterday unveiled North America's first ''Funitel,'' a high-tech, enclosed, aerial transportation system for skiers.
		Derived from the funicular, a subwaylike lift, and the telepherique, a Swiss gondola, the Funitel features spacious cabins that can accommodate 15 passengers, whizzing them up nearly 2,000 vertical feet in just under 8 minutes.
		Rather than realigning all of the Funitel's 10 towers, Squaw Valley engineers obliterated eight tons of rock to clear a path.

		With more than 30 lifts, including North America's first Funitel, serving 4000 skiable acres Squaw is definitely a world class resort.
		The resort's move into the 21st century has been boosted by the $20 million investment in a new Funitel.
		This is a combined gondola-funicular system with 46, 28 person cabins capable of transporting 3000 skiers per hour in winds which had, on occasion, caused the resort to suspend operations of older lifts on the higher slopes.

		The Queenstown end would start with cabins seating eight people, and later in the journey passengers would transfer into the more robust funitel cabins, which hold 24 people each.
		The funitel system uses two supporting wires instead of one and is safer in particularly windy areas.
		The redesign to incorporate the funitel cabins has pushed the cost of the Milford Skytrail up by $20 million from when it was first proposed three years ago.

	Guide to Skiing at Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe, California
		Squaw has a wide, gentle bowl at the top of the High Camp cable car and the Gold Coast Funitel known as Bailey's Beach, served by two slow-moving lifts.
		Best advice for beginners: Travel across the bowl from the top of the cable car or the Funitel from lift to lift - from Bailey's Beach, to Belmont to Riviera to East Broadway (or the reverse) and then head back for lunch at either Gold Coast or High Camp.
		They just hop the cable car or Funitel up to High Camp and Gold Coast (where they'll also find restaurants, shelter and an outdoor ice rink), and at the end of the day, ride the cable car or the Funitel back down.
