A Seilbahn is a type of aerial lift that transports people or goods over obstacles such as mountains or rivers. It consists of a system of cables and gondolas or cabins that move along the cables. Seilbahnen are commonly used in ski resorts, allowing skiers to reach the tops of slopes, and in urban areas to connect different parts of a city. These systems can vary in design, including gondola lifts, chairlifts, and funiculars. Seilbahnen are popular for their ability to provide scenic views while efficiently moving passengers. They are also considered an environmentally friendly mode of transport, reducing road traffic and emissions.
