The Funival is a 1,200 mm (3 ft 11+14 in) gauge funicular railway in Val-d'Isère, France

The Funival starts above ground in La Daille and after a few hundred meters it enters a tunnel ending at the mountain station on top of the Bellevarde.
The Funival uses two trains, connected by cables, on a single track. Halfway, a short section of dual track (passing loop) allows the trains to pass each other.
