This thesis discusses the problem of operating ropeways in difficult weather conditions and on exposed mountain terrains. Choosing the right type of ropeway is key for safe operation. We will focus on a special type of ropeways, which can operate in those difficult conditions and represent a milestone in ropeway engineering. Firstly, an overview of history of this ropeway type and certain standards connected to construction, production, assembly, operating and maintaining of all types of ropeways was formed. Next, an overview of features and technical information of reference ropeway was made. The result represents completely functional model, made based on this reference ropeway. It features all key components of real ropeways. Systematical designing and construction of all components was critical for correct operation. A special challenge was configuring the components for undisturbed operation.
