Doppelstockbahn Samnaun, Double-decker aerial lift in Samnaun, Grisons, Switzerland

The Doppelstockbahn Samnaun, known as the Twinliner, is a pendulum aerial lift in the canton of Grisons, Switzerland, running from the valley station at 1778 m in Samnaun-Ravaisch over three pylons to a top station at 2500 m beside the Alptrider Sattel. Its two-deck cabins, with a dark blue band above a white lower section, hold 180 people: 114 below and 65 plus an attendant above.

The lift was built in 1995 by Garaventa AG in just five months and entered service for the 1995/96 winter season, operated by Bergbahnen Samnaun AG. It was the first cable car in the world with double-decker cabins, each holding 180 people. It runs parallel to an older aerial tramway that is still in operation.

The lift runs parallel to an older pendulum cable car that remains in service, so two generations of the same route operate side by side. Its top station sits beside the Alptrider Sattel, where the Panoramarestaurant Alp Trida Sattel (2504 m) has an outdoor terrace. From there, connections lead to Alp Trida and over the Idalp toward Ischgl in Austria.

The base station sits at 1778 m in Samnaun-Ravaisch, the top station at 2500 m beside the Alptrider Sattel. The lift runs parallel to an older cable car that remains in service, and from the top there are connections to Alp Trida and via the Idalp to Ischgl. The steepest section, up to 65.5%, lies between the base station and the first of the three pylons.

The lift's two cabins each hold 180 people: 114 on the lower deck and 65 plus an attendant on the upper deck. A full cabin weighs 27 tonnes. The lift was the first in the world to use double-decker cabins, built in 1995 by Garaventa in only five months.
