Ropeways are transportation systems that use cables to move people or goods across difficult terrains, such as mountains or rivers. They consist of a series of cabins or gondolas that are suspended from a cable, allowing for smooth travel over obstacles. Ropeways are often used in ski resorts, tourist attractions, and remote areas where traditional roads may be impractical. These systems can be powered by electric motors and are designed to be efficient and environmentally friendly. Ropeways are popular in places like the Swiss Alps and Himalayas, providing stunning views while offering a reliable means of transport.
