Switzerland - Highest Gondola & Cablecar in Europe - Zermatt to Klein Matterhorn - 3,883m

[@crimsonpearl4686]

Great video! This is the way to record it. No ridiculous silly background music to ruin the experience!

[@Cromper]

I'm struggling to comprehend the amount of engineering excellence in this.

[@hugoagogo4324]

Yes is that one continous length of steel rope ??

[@Grandremone]

​@@hugoagogo4324No, they uncouple a few times to a new cable :)

[@coffeephish]

Great work!! Nice Steady Hand! This is doo helpful.

[@martin1116]

Brilliant video! Thank you so much for taking the time to share that with us. A+++

[@theunknownkeyboardist6154]

I don't know what's more inspiring--the scenery or the engineering.

[@KhalidMehmood-yt1yw]

Fantastic and very graceful movie and particularly all scenes are most beautiful and very admirable and also beautiful photography so thanks

[@stephenburnage7687]

I took that cable car once and the conditions at the top were unbelievable, with 60mph winds and zero visibility. No chance of skiing down so we were all sent back down and the car closed. That is some serious altitude!

[@fluffyusa]

I took the lift 3yrs ago before Covid during the summer of 2019 (August). Blue sky everywhere and one gorgeous sight! Schöne Grüße aus Mittelfranken.

[@timhanser1943]

The Swiss are expert engineers.

[@Thelift2013]

i went up there, and i recorded the trip up and down as well, but for some reason, on the 3S cableway, sadly, the "welcome to europe's highest mountain station" message did not play, and.. yeah.. (it means a lot for me for some reason, i dont know why, but it adds to the ambience)

[@gweneverebutler6605]

Absolutely spectacular!!!!!!!!!

[@lynnfuentas9236]

33 years ago I enjoyed taking the trip up this mountain on a similar beautiful day, great memories.

[@fudogwhisperer3590]

That last lift up to the top had a huge gap with no towers! Incredible!

[@CODobsessed]

This does a great job at really showcasing the sheer size of some of the larger ski resorts in the alps. We have some large ski areas here in North America but nothing compares to this.

[@adrianburgler7774]

And That's just one part you're seeing. There are two other parts to the resort on the left side at the very beginning (Rothorn) of the video and when the gondola arrives at its first station (Riffelberg/Gornergrat). And there are two other parts on the italian side (Cervinia & Valtournenche) you can reach from the very top.

[@DrCrabfingers]

Amazing...thank you so much...you have bought back the memories of my skiing holiday in Zermatt...that Gondola ride just goes on and on....you get to the top and you'd be lucky to not experience altitude sickness. That ride to the top is often cancelled due to high winds which are frequent there. But skiing back is incredible...you can ski right beside the Matterhorn...you look to your left and all you see is this majestic mountain...it is the best piste in Europe...It takes so long to get to the top and it is so quick to get to the bottom...so I always tried to stop frequently to take in the views, and also stop for a Weiss bier or Jaegertee and enjoy the descent....great video...The Swiss are great engineers!

[@MrEuskalteleuskadi]

Yeah. Best piste and best ski resort in the world I think.

[@sailorgregor]

I skied a non-stop from there all the way back to Zermatt because I knew I'd likely never encounter that much vertical again in my lifetime. Great skiing as well as going down the Italian side to Cervinia.

[@MrEuskalteleuskadi]

True

[@simonrees9441]

It's like skiing to the edge of the Earth! Awesome place

[@mothma]

Was up there 2019. In the summer. Could sit on the balcony of my hotel room in Zermatt and watch Matterhorn. Amazing landscape in the summer too.

[@extremelydave]

Wow, what a ride!! Each time it came to a way-point, I thought that was the end.....then it kept on going!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!!!

[@gjurczyc]

[@fiveinitaly]

Awesome. Full watch 👍👍👍 ciao from italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

[@MR-zq5gt]

Ya'll I rode this a few years ago (I was 16) . I am deathly afraid of heights and didn't realize this was the 'highest gondola in europe,' Either way, i was willing to do it because my dad and I were doing a father-daughter ski trip and he wanted to ski the Italian side so I wanted to go with him... Well, I was okay until we got over the little knoll at 30:32 and once we got over it you were just suspended over this expanse and ya'll I lost my shit! I was crying, shaking, blubbering in the most undignified fashion.. to make matters worse it was very windy that day so they had to stop the car multiple times for safety and so we were swinging back and forth in this wind and I thought I was going to die! Thankfully, my dad was very empathetic and he held me the whole time while I was blubbering in his ski jacket. I ended up braving this journey 4 times and forth journey I was even able to open my eyes to look out which is alot for me considering my fear of heights lol....

[@xXDrocenXx]

Mostly it is not the high, but the high you can fall from. Maybe you have heard it thousand of times, but this is the first thing I remember to say 😁

[@garyk1334]

I'm not scared of heights & i got the heebie jeebies too , well done for going again

Спасибо за ваши видео !!! Очень красиво !!!

[@beyondthehorizonambience]

Thos is soo beautiful and relaxing to watch - thank you for uploading this video for us - I did subscribe to your channel

[@Warrior_Saint88]

So you can go directly to the top of the Matterhorn by a Tram. I never thought you could do that. Thats scary.

[@Grandremone]

Great video!!!!

[@eliassaf9192]

Any idea of the temperature? at the bottom? top?

[@howardrees9278]

Very impressive indeed - we have our chalet in Val d’Anniviers which also gives you a view on the Matterhorn (from a different angle)

[@simonrees9441]

It's unmistakable from any angle, Mont Blanc dominates too. It's such a wonderfully scenic part of the world.

[@evilynp]

It was just like this April 4th 2022. Can’t wait to do it again.

[@jillybean2681]

Looks like we’re on the moon

[@johnnzperplexed2741]

Amazing place! What are the skill level options for skiing down?

[@adrianburgler7774]

It's mostly intermediate slopes (red). The slopes are not very difficult, as in they are often very wide, and not insanely steep. What makes them more difficult is the height (it's more exhausting to ski above 3000 meters above sea level), the conditions (it can be very cold and windy) and the length of the slopes.

[@J.-S.S-h2k]

How much in EUR for a day skipass?

[@melaniamonicacraciun9900]

Happy weekend everybody, wishing you enjoy sharing such a great hug Mother Earth admiring her never ending beauties, l think she needs love like each one of us and such spectacular shootings might help, big loving hug all mountain lovers

[@zamarioijean4736]

Le téléphérique de l'aiguille du Midi à Chamonix s'élève aussi presque à la même altitude (3842 mètres) ...

[@loudsubwoofer8492]

there's an actual crane at the very top. what else could they be building way up there?

[@simonrees9441]

Currently under construction is a new cablecar station to connect Klein Matterhorn in Switzerland with Testa Grigia in Italy - just across the border

[@ChristianVIGUIE-g3t]

Combien de stations en tout, dans cette ascension, c'est vertigineux ?

[@adrianburgler7774]

5 stations, mais on ne doit changer qu'une fois de téléphérique

[@itjustlookslikethis]

Why isn't the other cable-car system to the left used??

[@wilhelmgabel]

Back in the day it was used for getting up to the mountain but now it has no use or maybe it transports food to the mountain my best guess

[@hcdhcdhcd41]

It's sometimes used during off-season and if this cable-car maintenance work. But the smaller continuous cabins just get more people away than a tramway.

[@manosmanos7259]

The cost ?

[@narramundos]

Uau

I had no idea pine beetle has hit europe as bad as it is here in Canada. Look at all those dead trees. Devastating

[@giacomorapuzzi9866]

They're not actually dead, most of the trees here are deciduous conifers, meaning they lose their needles in fall and grow them back in spring. Makes for quite the show in the fall. Pine beetles sound quite devastating, would be scary to have them here.

[@hurri7720]

Looks like Larch to me: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larch

[@treywest268]

Do people who live in those areas use the system to go to work or grocery shopping?

[@simonrees9441]

This cableway is mostly used by skiers in winter and hikers in summer to get up to the higher altitudes - Zermatt itself (which is tiny) has an electric bus service to get around during ski season

not much snow, sadly, if you ask me

[@jeanpieerjean7356]

It was April , end of season

[@pianistegolfeur]

Fabuleux, inoui !!! Mais....d'une façon générale, en tant que simple spectateur de ces prises de vues de téléphériques, je ferai surtout le reproche que les cinéastes montrent trop l'aspect "technique" de l'installation au dépens d'une prise de vus qui néglige le(s) points(s) de vue que l'on pourrait avoir depuis les cabines. C'est un peu regrettable. On voit trop le parcours lui-même de la cabine et pas assez l'environnement que l'on pourrait avoir si l'on était un passager.

[@ragnarlundin1579]

So ? what ?! ya Covidiots !!!

[@vermontsownboy6957]

Mad videography skills shooting directly into the sun. A different time of day for this video journey wouldn't have worked? Otherwise, tremendous ride!

[@nilp2000]

do not watch if you do not like it!!

[@simonrees9441]

The angle of the sun does change throughout the video as the gondola turns up the mountain - low sun in February - can't be helped. Glad you enjoyed the ride, I did too!

[@clafrieda]

😊l

[@xingzhang6540]

This gondola is ridiculously slow. They call it express, but it takes forever to move from bottom to the top. I spent more than 3 hours riding this ridiculous lift today. Should have gone to the other side of the resort. Won't recommend this gondola. Very slow.

[@hcdhcdhcd41]
