The invention relates to a method for operating a cable car system having at least two cable car stations and having at least one carrying cable (13) located between the cable car stations, on which at least one cable car vehicle (15) is moved by means of at least one hauling cable (14), wherein the at least one cable car vehicle (15) is moved between the cable car stations by means of the hauling cable (14), and comprising at least one cable car support (12) via which the carrying cable (13) and the hauling cable (14) are guided. In addition, the travelling positions of the at least one cable car vehicle (15) along the travelling route are determined by means of at least one measuring device, the travelling positions of the at least one cable car vehicle (15) along the travelling route is transmitted to a control unit and processed and stored in same, and a signal is input into the control unit by means of an input device located on the at least one cable car support (12) such that maintenance or assembly works and similar are carried out on this cable car support (12), wherein, when a cable car vehicle (15) is approaching the cable car support (12), the drive for moving the at least one cable car vehicle (15) is controlled by the control unit such that the cable car vehicle (15) is moved at a significantly reduced speed in relation to the operating speed, or is stopped in the region of the cable car support (12).
