A cable transportation system for transporting people or goods, the cable transportation system comprising: - an advancing path extending between two end stations (2, 3) and having a given length L; - a hauling cable looped into a closed ring and having a forward branch and a return branch, which extend between the end stations (2, 3); and - at least one vehicle configured to be alternately advanced between the two end stations (2; 3), and selectively and alternately clamped to the forward branch and the return branch of the hauling cable at the end stations (2, 3); - a drive member for advancing the hauling cable along the advancing path and selectively stopping the hauling cable when the vehicle clamped to the hauling cable is at one end station (2; 3), wherein the vehicle comprises: (i) a frame; (ii) at least one clamp, which is arranged underneath the frame and mounted on the frame in a selectively rotatable manner about a rotation axis and comprises two jaws arranged on one side of the rotation axis and configured for selectively releasing and clamping the hauling cable; (iii) a control member, which is configured for opening and closing the jaws and arranged on the opposite side of the jaws with respect to the rotation axis; and (iv) an actuator for selectively rotating the clamp about the rotation axis between two working positions arranged at 180° from each other. - an advancing path extending between two end stations (2, 3) and having a given length L; - a hauling cable looped into a closed ring and having a forward branch and a return branch, which extend between the end stations (2, 3); and - at least one vehicle configured to be alternately advanced between the two end stations (2; 3), and selectively and alternately clamped to the forward branch and the return branch of the hauling cable at the end stations (2, 3); - a drive member for advancing the hauling cable along the advancing path and selectively stopping the hauling cable when the vehicle clamped to the hauling cable is at one end station (2; 3), wherein the vehicle comprises: (i) a frame; (ii) at least one clamp, which is arranged underneath the frame and mounted on the frame in a selectively rotatable manner about a rotation axis and comprises two jaws arranged on one side of the rotation axis and configured for selectively releasing and clamping the hauling cable; (iii) a control member, which is configured for opening and closing the jaws and arranged on the opposite side of the jaws with respect to the rotation axis; and (iv) an actuator for selectively rotating the clamp about the rotation axis between two working positions arranged at 180° from each other. (i) a frame; (ii) at least one clamp, which is arranged underneath the frame and mounted on the frame in a selectively rotatable manner about a rotation axis and comprises two jaws arranged on one side of the rotation axis and configured for selectively releasing and clamping the hauling cable; (iii) a control member, which is configured for opening and closing the jaws and arranged on the opposite side of the jaws with respect to the rotation axis; and (iv) an actuator for selectively rotating the clamp about the rotation axis between two working positions arranged at 180° from each other.
