Funiculaire d'Évian-les-Bains, Funicular railway in Évian-les-Bains, France

The Funiculaire d'Évian-les-Bains is a cable railway, not a rack railway, running 750 m from Évian-les-Thermes at 375 m to Neuvecelle at 500 m, with a 125 m height gain and a maximum gradient of 25%. Its six stations make it the only funicular in France with that number. The metre-gauge line passes through a tunnel beneath the town centre, and two Von Roll cars carry 60 passengers each.

Construction took place between 1907 and 1913, with electric power driving the system to move guests between mineral springs and grand hotels throughout the thermal resort era. Operations ended in 1969 when travel patterns changed.

The line's nickname, "le petit métro évianais", comes from its six stations, the most of any funicular in France. The upper station at Neuvecelle, built in chalet style, was damaged by a fire in 1991 and later restored. The lower station building survives from the earlier electric tramway, the "Patache", opened in 1898.

The line runs from 1 May to 18 September, daily from 10:00 to 19:00, and the ride is free. The lower station, Évian-les-Thermes, sits at 375 m and the upper one at Neuvecelle at 500 m, over 750 m of track with a 125 m height difference. The Splendide Hôtel stop has been out of service since 2005 for safety reasons.

The line is the only funicular in France with six stations, and its upper station in Neuvecelle houses the machinery that drives the cable. Two Von Roll cars were listed as monuments historiques in 1983, a year before the line itself was inscribed. The Splendide Hôtel stop has been out of service since 2005, as the station can only be reached from the former hotel grounds.
