Overview
SHORTER, FASTER, HIGHER, A ROUTE OF WINNING DESIGN
SHORTER, FASTER
The shortest route is in a straight line, as we all know. This is the key advantage of Téléo, which soars over the Garonne river!The 3-kilometre route takes passengers from Paul Sabatier University to the Oncopole Institute via Rangueil Hospital in just 10 minutes. This will relieve congestion on the ring road and improve the traffic flow between the eastern and western sides of the city.
Téléo serves three key sites on the route between western and eastern Toulouse:
- the terminal stations "Oncopole - Lise Enjalbert" and "Université Paul Sabatier",
- An intermediate stop: "Hôpital Rangueil-Louis Lareng"
HIGHER
An aerial tramway was the natural solution for getting around the many natural obstacles and infrastructure in southern Toulouse. To protect the landscape and the environment, the tramway functions at a height of 70 metres. Guaranteed to create a wow effect!
10 minutes between the Oncopole Institute and Paul Sabatier in Téléo compared with 30 minutes by car!
Three stations, three moods
Université Paul Sabatier station
The campus station
This imposing building of futuristic design marks the entrance to the campus. This is the station housing the main motor as well as the garage-workshop dedicated to the maintenance of the aerial tramway. The platform is accessed via a footbridge from the nearby bus stops and metro station (line B). Connections from this station take you to the Science Complex, the Innopole, Malepère and Montaudran.

TELEO, TOP-FLIGHT TECHNOLOGY!
"3S" technology
Everybody’s a winner with Téléo, a system combining performance with comfort!
The 3-cable system (two carrying cables + one hauling cable) improves cabin stability and reduces vibration, for greater comfort.
You won’t hear any noise from the motors on board either, only the sound of the cabins on their rollers! This innovative technology requires only five pylons compared to 20 for a conventional cable car, thereby reducing environmental impact!
A system made in France
Téléo was built by a consortium led by the French company POMA, world leader in cable transport systems.
With their roomy dimensions and large doors, the cabins feel spacious and airy, making it easy to board and disembark. The panoramic windows offer a view over the roofs of Toulouse, and the bucolic landscapes of the Canal du Midi, Pech David and the Garonne. In the background, you can see the blue line of the Pyrenees. Breathe deeply, you’re in another place!
100% accessible
You enter and leave the cabin on the same level. Each cabin has a space reserved for wheelchair users. Cyclists and mountain bikers are welcome to travel with their bikes.
Onboard comfort
Inside the cabin, a reinforced natural ventilation system constantly renews the air all year round, based on the outside temperature.
