I believe the original Tauplitzalm Bergbahn 1SB from Tauplitz village to Tauplitzalm used to be the longest, would imagine its been surpassed now though!

The fridge and the freezer in Val T (aka moraine and col) certainly feel like the longest

There's a long, slow chair between Villars and Les Diablerets, which is very long and very, very slow.
Mind you, it gave me plenty of opportunity to enjoy the sight of the Chamois frollicking in the mountains.

Whitters, lovely ride that - comfy padded chairs.
Longest drag must be the T-bar back from Zermatt to Cervinia - longest and coldest.

compostcorner, I think Heiligenblut in Carinthia has the longest drag in the world.

I thought the longest drag lift (Europe?) used to be the one off the top of the Carosello (Livigno) that brought you back from inside the Swiss border, when you ski down the back of the mountain through the valley (the opposite side of the village)
If my memory serves me well it's about 35 - 40 mins long.
PAIN.

The drag to get back to La Thuile from La Rosiere is very long indeed, although it does split halfway. Still a complete ballache though.
The gondola from Brides Les Bains must also be a contender?

red 27, haha I'd echo the Zermatt to Cervinia one. White out day - you see your last tram leaving... b*gger. Will the mist *ever* clear? Will you *ever* reach Italy? Do you have your credit card for a hotel in Zermatt if need's be? Dare you have a feel around for the aforementioned creditcard or will you fall off the lift and have to pass Go, do not collect 200 CHF?

try doing it when its freezing and you're a boarder that really doesn't do drag lifts (well at that time). I managed to rip.the tbar of the pole and then went back for another go. In the end had to.have a mate riding fakie with me so I could get to the top!

As to the question surely the longest is ANY lift out of Montalbert

The chair to the top of Seceda from St Chrisina in the Val Gardena valley is a longun.

I'll suggest the Aiguille du Midi as longest and greatest ascent cable car - albeit in 2 stages.
Vertical 1,035m - 3,842m (i.e. 2807m)

bitoffluff, iirc whistler is the longest single span
At 4 miles long, the longest gondola lift in the world is the Millenium Express in Nassfeld. Has 2 mid stations but you can go bottom to top without changing lift.
