A cableway cabin especially for a gondola lift has an asymmetrical shape with reference to the vertical median plane extending in the direction of travel of the cabin. The width of the inner lateral side of the cabin, which faces the inner side of the curve when the cabin travels on the half-loop circuit, is smaller than the width of the opposite lateral side. Two benches are disposed against the front and the rear sides of the cabin and the space between the two passengers seated near the inner lateral side is just sufficient for the feet of the passenger while on the other side of the cabin, equipped with the door, an open space is provided in front of the door for access of the passengers.
An aerial cableway system has at least one load-bearing and conveying cable that is moved between a valley station and a mountain station, which is guided over deflection pulleys in the stations, and transportation devices that can be coupled to the load-bearing and conveying cable and that are formed by cabins and by chairs. The cabins and chairs can be uncoupled from the conveying cable in the stations, moved along guide rails through entry and exit regions located in the stations, and then once more coupled to the conveying cable. The entry and exit regions provided in the stations are respectively subdivided into two mutually separate sectors which follow each other in the direction of movement. A first sector is intended for the users of the cabins and a second sector is provided for the users of the chairs.
A method for heating a gondola of a cableway system and a gondola that is suitable for carrying out the process, as well as a cableway system with gondolas of the type. In order to increase passengers' comfort when being conveyed, the floor or parts of the floor is or are heated by an electrical heating device integrated in the floor in particular while the gondola is situated in a station of the cableway system.
