Even if in 1955 the theme of environmental sustainability was not yet a popular concept, the village of Chamois did not succumb to the lure of road traffic and chose the cable car as a means of connecting the village with the valley. The cable car was a fast and direct means of transport which at the same time avoided the construction of roads and consequently the emissions of harmful gases and traffic noise. Although the descriptions of travelers at the beginning of the century already identified in the construction of a carriage road the success factor for the tourist future of the "splendid health resort", as reported by Sylvain Lucat in 1908, the population of Chamois did not choose this solution which would necessarily have modified the surrounding landscape. The presence of the cable car has in fact characterized the town planning choices of the place: the small stone streets that run between the renovated houses have remained unchanged, preserving the charm of the area unchanged. Since then, various modernizations have been carried out to make the cable car safe and comfortable. Since 2001, the cableway has been joined by a cableway for the transport of bulky and heavy goods and objects.
