    • Funiculaire de Chaumont is one of the funicular railways in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. It leads from La Coudre at 517 metres (1,696 ft) to Chaumont at 1,087 m (3,566 ft), a viewpoint and summit (1,177 m (3,862 ft)) of the Jura range. The line with a length of 2,091 m (6,860 ft) has a difference of elevation of 570 m (1,870 ft) at an incline from 15% to 46%. It has four viaducts with a total length of 570 m (1,870 ft).
      The line was opened in 1910 as a single-track funicular with two cars and a passing loop. A new tram line linked it to Neuchâtel railway station. It replaced a projected two-section funicular.
      In 2007, the passing loop and the second car were removed.
      The funicular is owned and operated by Transports publics Neuchâtelois.
