The cable car tourist transport operated by Teleféricos da Madeira covers a distance of 3.178 kilometres in length from Funchal to Monte. In that distance, the rise in altitude is some 560 metres. The maximum cabin speed is some 5 m/s and each cabin can carry up to 7 people. The cabin speed slows as it passes through each terminal, the doors opening automatically, so that passengers can alight and disembark with safety. There is a handicraft shop, snack bar and Public Conveniences at the Monte terminal.
