Funchal Monte Cable Car Botanical Tropical Garden Madeira Island
The Funchal Passenger Ropeway connects the old town of Funchal (Madeira, Portugal) Monte, in about 15 minutes, with a panoramic view of the city along the way. It consists of 42 8-seater cabins each, moved by a type gondola monocable detachable clip system.
The construction of Funchal-Monte Cable Car began in September 1999 and was opened in November 2000; the route was designed with the aim of recovering the tourist role of the Monte train, existing in 1887-1943.
The cable is 3178 m long and 43 mm thick, and is based on metal towers bevel 11 which maintain a distance of 5.5 m between the two branches of the cable, some implemented in full urban fabric. The largest span is 550 m, between the towers 3 (the highest, with 39 m) and 4, with the distanced cable branches exceptionally 6.5 m from each other. The engine located at the base station has a power of 302 kW.
The base station is in the Almirante Reis garden, in the historic part of Funchal, with the top on Monte, midway between Largo das Babosas and Monte Gardens. This site has pedestrian correspondence with the top terminal of the Botanical Garden cable car and not far from the Monte railway station, extinct in 1943.

Treat yourself to a magnificent and unique experience.
From the cable car, hovering over the city, where buildings rise alongside gardens and kitchen-gardens, you can enjoy Funchal's amphitheatre and bay in a scenario of blues, greens and oranges.

Monte Cable Car, Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, Africa
Monte is a civil parish in the municipality and a suburb of Funchal in the Portuguese archipelago of Madeira. Locally, the parish is also known as Nossa Senhora do Monte (English: Our Lady of the Mountain). The population in 2011 was 6,701, in an area of 18.59 km². Monte is located a few kilometres east of Funchal. The parish of Nossa Senhora do Monte was created in 1565, turning itself into a summer refuge for many wealthy families of Funchal. Looking to discover a mild climate in the summers, these novo riche constructed summer cottages along the hills of the district. The oldest religious building, the main church Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Monte was constructed in 1741. Monte was the final resting place for Emperor Charles I of Austria, last of the Habsburg rulers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, who died in exile on 1 April 1922. His last residence on the island was the Quinta do Monte close to the parochial church. Similarly, the Madeirense poet, Herberto Hélder lived in a home in the parish. In 1850, the residents created an innovative method of moving rapidly between Monte and Funchal. These carros de cesto (literally, English: basket cars), baskets with seats on wooden skis which were slid the inclined streets of Monte, guided by two pilots from behind, began operating in the late 19th century to descend the three kilometres to Funchal. Between 1893 and 1943, the Monte was connected to Funchal by Madeira's only cog railway, which used to carry people between Funchal and Monte, but also to Terreiro da Luta (at 867 m above sea level), but was deactivated during the Second World War. Monte is noted for its older gardens and greenspaces, with exotic plants and flowers, some open to the public. Monte is served by inclined cable car to Funcal and the Botanical Gardens. The parish is also criss-cross by old water channels constructed to transport water between Monte and Camaca, which pass through the Curral dos Romeiros. Central Monte, overlooking the neighboring Santa Luzia and Imaculade Coração, is peppered by various hotels, small restaurantes, and local institutions, including the Hospital dos Marmeleiros and the local health centre. The parish of Monte literally extends along the mountainous foothills in the northeast corner of the municipality of Funchal, limited by the valley of Ribeira de João Gomes and west by the river-valley of Fundoa. The altimetry increases considerably from 300 to 1300 metres along its border, and the parish is marked by various cliffs, overlooks, ravines and water courses. Its picturesque vantage point has resulted, over the years, in the construction of many homes and buildings in conditions that are percarious or dangerous. This construction has degraded the natural forested areas and facilitated the movement of water that has resulted in natural catastrophes, such as the 2010 mudslides, which caused the death and injury of many in the parish. Similarly, in the summer, the hot dry climate has made the forests in the parish susceptible to forest fires. Presently, Monte can be accessed by gondola lift, which was first opened nearly 100 years after the opening of the cog railway. The departing station is located at Parque Almirante Reis in downtown Funchal. The length of the cable car line is 3,718 metres (12,198 ft), the height difference is 560 metres (1,840 ft) and the journey time (one way) 15 minutes. The line has over 39 cabs with 8 seats each carrying 800 passengers per hour. Also, the basket cars or tobogan run, remains one of the most popular features of Monte for the visitors. This enables visitors to be transported 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) downhill to Livramento through the streets at fairly high speeds in large wicker baskets, conducted by two drivers wearing the traditional white uniform with straw boaters.

???? Monte Toboggan Ride in Funchal, Madeira
On Madeira, the Monte Toboggan Ride was originally a fast means of transport down to Funchal for people living in Monte. The toboggan sleds appeared around 1850.
Still in use today, they attract thousands of tourists every year who want to make this exciting experience of sliding at high speed on narrow, winding streets down to Funchal. These two-seater wicker sledges glide on wooden runners, pushed and steered by two men traditionally dressed in white cotton clothes and a straw boater hat, using their rubber-soled boots as brakes.
The downhill journey to Funchal is made in about 10 minutes on a total course of 2 km, reaching at times a speed of 48 km/hour.
This old-fashioned toboggan ride contrasts with the modern cable car going up to Monte.
Key time points:
0:10 Location of Madeira
0:19 Teleférico do Funchal
0:45 Toboggan ride

Tom & Tanya Cable Car UpTo Monte Funchal Madeira
We are on holiday in Madeira. Here we are, having a laugh together in a cable car going from Old Town Funchal up to the historic scenic little village of Monte. This is one trip not to be missed when you come on holiday to Madeira. The views over Funchal are amazing. This is surely the best way to see the city. This is as close to being a swallow as I'm ever going to get.
