Vermuntbahn, Cable car in Gaschurn, Austria.

The Vermuntbahn is an aerial lift in Gaschurn, a village in the Montafon valley of Austria's Vorarlberg region, linking a valley station to a mountain station above. The line runs about 1,300 meters (4,265 ft) and covers a vertical rise of around 700 meters (2,300 ft).

A funicular-like inclined lift from Partenen to Trominier was completed in 1928 to supply the Ill power station construction sites, replacing the non-winter-safe Silvretta road passage. It opened to the public in 1959. In 1994 the ageing lift was demolished and replaced by the present pendulum aerial cableway, which kept the established name Vermuntbahn and reused the old incline route.

The name Vermuntbahn was already used for the old inclined lift before the 1994 cable car took it over. The line runs from the Vermuntwerk in Partenen to Trominier at 1731 m; from there a tunnel, the Stollen Vermunt, leads to the Vermuntsee reservoir. In summer the tunnels serve as a show mine documenting water and the history of hydropower, with exhibitions also for cyclists.

The valley station stands at the Vermuntwerk in Partenen, on the opposite bank of the Ill from the village, at 1,038 m; the mountain station Trominier lies at 1,731 m. From Trominier a winter-safe former construction road runs through the 950 m Stollen Vermunt to the Vermuntsee reservoir and meets the Silvretta-Hochalpenstraße below the dam. The parallel maintenance stairway, the Europatreppe 4000, climbs the full 700 m of height along the old incline.

The 1994 cable car reuses the route of the old inclined lift, so no new landscape was cut for it. Its suspension gear can be swapped between passenger cabins and freight: loads up to 9 m long, construction containers of 6 × 3 × 2.5 m, and a 6-tonne electric hoist for cement buckets. In winter a 50-person cabin serves visitors to the Bielerhöhe.
