For lovers of heights and wide open spaces. A short video on the News of The world website shot by a British holidaymaker who was on the KM Cable Car when it broke down.

Man, I have used that cable car soo many times and in the conditions described. I would be interested to know what the fault was that caused it in the first place. Helicopter airlift looked fun.

If they had there skis with them they could have been dropped off somewhere and a free heli skiing day.
Lost opportunity imo

Hey,

Can anyone tell me if you can ski from Saas Fee straight into Zermatt. Looking to go for a week at the end of Feb, but concerned about limited terrain?
