Gondola ropeways offer a highly comfortable ride and are the system of choice for feeder services in ski areas, tourism resorts and the urban environment. The enclosed carriers provide full protection against the elements, and have been designed with a strong focus on the special needs of families and the elderly.

The gondolas are attached to the haul rope with detachable grips for safe and easy loading and unloading, with the carriers travelling through the terminals at creep speed before accelerating to a line speed of up to 6 m/s. Carrier capacity varies from four to fifteen persons, and system capacity can be as much as 3,600 persons per hour.
