A cableway in the case of which the safety and comfort for persons during the loading and unloading of the cableway vehicles can be improved as simply and economically as possible. This aim is achieved, according to the teaching, in that at least one vehicle-fixed contact rail which extends in the direction of movement of the cableway vehicle is arranged on the conveying body, and in that at least one guiding portion having at least one stationary first guiding device which extends in the direction of movement of the cableway vehicle is provided in at least one cableway station, the first guiding device cooperating with the contact rail of the cableway vehicle, at least during the movement of the cableway vehicle through the guiding portion, in order to generate a guiding force, the guiding force shifting the conveying body relative to the suspension from a rest position, in which the cableway vehicle can be moved outside of the guiding portion, into a guidance position, in which the cableway vehicle can be moved through the guiding portion.

A cable guiding device for an aerial cableway system comprising at least one elongate cable support (23). The device further comprises a single pair of similar connections (39), by means of which the cable support is securely mounted on an aerial support structure. The connections (39) are arranged at a distance from one another in a longitudinal direction of the cable support (23). Each connection (39) comprises at least one corresponding damping block (59) which is inserted between the cable support (23) and the support structure (7). Each connection (39) of the pair is designed as a pseudo-embedded type connection capable of transmitting forces in the manner of a ball joint, with the effect of the damping block or blocks (59).
