Bourg-St. Maurice-Les Arc

A 2.9 km rope funicular railway built in 1988 is known as the Arc en Ciel Railway. Looking very much like a light rail line, the line serves a village of low income rental homes.  There is no skiing at this altitude, and so this is not a skiing railway as one might first think.  Other links say otherwise. Hmmmmm.

The railway is a rarity in funiculars in that the first station is at a 0 degree gradient.
