Abstract: A cableway system has at least one continuous conveying cable, which is guided over deflecting pulleys in the terminal stations, and transport devices, such as cablecars and chairs, that can be coupled to the conveying cable. Guide rails are provided in the stations along which the transporting means uncoupled from the conveying cable can be displaced. Two vertical conveying wheels rotatably supported about a horizontal axis are provided in at least one of the stations for moving the transport devices between an upper plane and a lower plane in the station. The transport devices are uncoupled from the conveying cable, guided along a first guide rail in the upper plane of the station to a first vertical conveying wheel, which moves them from the upper plane into the lower plane, moved along the second guide rail in the lower plane through a passenger boarding and disembarking region, and moved to the second vertical conveying wheel, which conveys them back into the upper plane.
