Björn Vrooman Aug 14, 2019:
@Kshitija The process seems to be called "cableway extraction." You'll find a document with the same name at https://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/research/publications-on-h...

Additionally, here's another German-language page about Seilgelände for comparison:
https://www.holzkurier.com/rundholz/2013/04/holzernte_im_sei...

I'd say that Lancashireman's explanation is short and to the point.

Best wishes

winching terrain

i.e. terrain requiring the use of winching equipment

See page 14 of this document: https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/14900752.pdf

Her is a YouTube video showing what is meant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdJRYJuAcpU

I think the two existing answers do not distinguish between the different types of sloping terrain shown in Kim Metzger's link:
https://www.waldwissen.net/technik/holzernte/erschliessung/l...
One at least of these two answers implies that Seil- is a typo for steil.
