The Buisson-Chamois Cable Car (, ) is an aerial lift that connects the hamlet of Buisson, in the municipality of Antey-Saint-André, with the municipality of Chamois, in the Aosta Valley, Italy. The cable car is the main means of transport to Chamois, as there are no roads accessible to motor vehicles connecting the village with the valley floor.
History The original cable car was built in 1955, providing a much faster connection between Chamois and the Valtournenche valley floor. Before then, Chamois could only be reached via a series of footpaths and mule tracks running from Nuarsaz to Corgnolaz, the main village of Chamois.
Description The cable car is long and connects the Buisson station, located at approximately above sea level, with the Chamois station, at approximately above sea level. It therefore overcomes a vertical difference of around .
