Abstract (en)
1. Gondola lift or cable car having a large span between two spaced towers (12, 14), the base (42, 44) of each tower (12, 14) being anchored to the ground and the head (38, 40) forming a support point of the cable (16) stretched between the two towers and following a predetermined catenary trajectory under the action of a tension device (32) and extending beyond these towers, characterized in that the towers (12, 14) lean towards one another to reduce the cable (16) span, the distance between the cable (16) support points (46) on the towers being smaller than the distance between the towers anchoring points (42, 44) to the ground, and the tower (12, 14) leaning angle being chosen so that the tower is appreciably perpendicular to said catenary trajectory at the cable (16) support point (46) on the tower.
