Type de remontée mécanique constituée par une série de sièges à deux places, suspendus par une tige métallique à un câble porteur et tracteur qui, en mouvement continu, amène les skieurs au sommet des pistes. 1, record 1, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9si%C3%A8ge%20%C3%A0%20deux%20places
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La remontée mécanique non débrayable doit être opérée à une vitesse réduite pour permettre l’embarquement et le débarquement des skieurs sans chute. Le système débrayable permet un débit accéléré, les chaises se transférant sur un câble d’appoint opérant au ralenti au sommet comme à la base. Sauf dans l’arrière-pays de vastes centres de ski, le télésiège double a cédé le pas au télésiège quadruple débrayable sur la plupart des domaines skiables. 1, record 1, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9si%C3%A8ge%20%C3%A0%20deux%20places

Il faut éviter les génériques «remonte-pente» et «remontée mécanique» qui valent pour tout type de remontée. La terminologie de l’industrie permettant de désigner clairement et aisément, «télésiège à deux places» tient beaucoup plus de la définition que de la désignation proprement dite. 1, record 1, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9si%C3%A8ge%20%C3%A0%20deux%20places
