Téléphérique du pic du Midi de Bigorre, Aerial tramway in Bagnères-de-Bigorre, France.
The cable car system spans 4,400 meters across the Pyrenees mountains, lifting passengers from 1,745 meters to an elevation of 2,629 meters at the summit.
The construction of this transportation system occurred in the mid-20th century to support scientific research and improve accessibility to the Pic du Midi observatory.
The summit station houses an astronomical observatory where scientists conduct research while visitors learn about space observation and mountain environments.
The cable car operates in two stages with an intermediate station at Taoulet, allowing passengers to break their journey and adapt to the altitude change.
During winter months, the tramway provides access to ski slopes, while summer visitors can explore hiking trails and observe the Pyrenean mountain ranges.
