  • A funitel is a type of aerial lift, generally used to transport skiers. The name funitel is a conjunction between the French words funiculaire and telepherique. Funitels have not only been used as a means to transport skiers, there is one used to transport finished cars between different areas of a factory. Recently, more and more funitels have been added to ski areas. When used to transport skiers, funitels are a fast way to get to a higher altitude. However, because skis or snowboard have to be taken off and held during the trip, and because of the (usual) absence of seats, funitels can sometimes be uncomfortable for long trips, in the same way other large gondolas can be. Funitels combine a short time between successive cabins with a high capacity (20-30 people) per cabin, making it a good choice to take when in a busy ski resort, as the lines are usually shorter. Furthermore, Funitels are able to tolerate higher wind speeds than classic gondola lifts because they are fastened to two steel cables instead of one.
