Mini-Funiculaire d'Emosson

Mini-Funiculaire d'Emosson is a funicular railway at the Emosson dam in the canton of Valais, Switzerland. It leads from Pied du Barrage (literally "foot of the dam") at 1812 m to its top at 1952 m on Lake Emosson. The two-track line has a length of 260 m at a maximum incline of 73% for a difference of elevation of 140 m.

It was opened in 1991 and replaced a monorail rack railway. The lower station was reached by stream train from Funiculaire du Châtelard.

In 2023, the former owner "Parc d'Attractions du Châtelard VS S.A." entered liquidation. It was previously named "Trains Touristiques d'Emosson SA" and "Société anonyme des transports Emosson-Barberine".
