When it comes to mastering the challenging weather
conditions to be found in high alpine locations,
the Funifor from Doppelmayr/Garaventa is a truly
versatile solution. The Falginjoch tramway in the
Kaunertal valley clearly highlights these advantages.
The combination of a wide gauge, the special haul
rope configuration and the Funifor carriage gives this
spectacular ropeway its high wind stability. The tramway
has just two towers over a total length of almost
2,000 meters.
In the case of the Falginjoch tramway, special emphasis
was placed on barrier-free access. Mono skiers
and wheelchair users can board and disembark in
comfort and without assistance using a dedicated
access zone. Another major priority for the operating
company, Kaunertaler Gletscherbahnen, was
sustainability. The energy supply lines to the upper
terminal of the Falginjoch tramway are integrated into
the track ropes. In addition, regenerative braking enables
the energy generated on the downhill trip to be
fed back directly into the power network.
