Cable cars, gondolas, chair lifts and drag lifts are ways tagged with aerialway. The value says which kind.
The query
[out:json][timeout:25]; way["aerialway"](45.95,7.65,46.06,7.82); out geom;
Run it
Live result from overpass.ch, cached for up to 12 hours. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).
How it works
["aerialway"]without a value matches all kinds of lifts.- Pistes are separate:
way["piste:type"="downhill"].
Variations
- Only cable cars and gondolas:
["aerialway"~"^(cable_car|gondola)$"]. - The height of both stations and the vertical rise: ski lifts and cable cars: vertical rise.
Run it from your code
curl https://api.overpass.ch/v1/YOUR_API_KEY/interpreter \
--data-urlencode 'data@query.overpassql'
import requests
query = open("query.overpassql").read()
r = requests.post("https://api.overpass.ch/v1/YOUR_API_KEY/interpreter",
data={"data": query}, timeout=120)
r.raise_for_status()
print(r.json()["elements"][:3])
const res = await fetch("https://api.overpass.ch/v1/YOUR_API_KEY/interpreter", {
method: "POST",
body: new URLSearchParams({ data: query }),
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(await res.text());
console.log(await res.json());
Save the query as query.overpassql. It works the same in Overpass Turbo, QGIS and JOSM.
