Arcs Express funicular<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Bourg Saint Maurice lies at an altitude of 840m. Its ski resort, Les Arcs, with its first site, is located at 1,600m. <\/p>\n

To link the village railway station to the resort, a cable car was first installed in 1974. In 1989, it was replaced by a fully electric funicular on a 2,875-meter-long line featuring a central passing loop and numerous viaducts to cross the Is\u00e8re River. <\/p>\n

The elevation gain and gradients are uneven, with a maximum gradient of 39% and an elevation gain of 810 meters.
The funicular is equipped with two separate cars, each capable of carrying up to 270 passengers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

2 trainsets: the aim was to integrate on-board doors on the shuttles in order to automate the opening of the doors during passenger transfers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
