This cable car line, also known as the BUGA cable car, was built in 2011 to connect the river level area of Koblenz (where the River Moselle meets the River Rhine) to the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. It is Germany's first three-wire cable car system. It operates with 18 cabins and has the capacity of transporting 7,600 people per hour.

Schweiz - Wallis - Rund ums Matterhorn - Part 1 von 3
Zermatt is a municipality in the district of Visp in the German-speaking section of the canton of Valais in Switzerland. It has a population of about 5,800 inhabitants.
The village is situated at the end of Mattertal at an altitude of 1,620 m (5,315 ft), at the feet of Switzerland's highest peaks. It lies about 10 km (6 mi) from the over 3,300 metres high Theodul Pass bordering Italy.
Zermatt is famed as a mountaineering and ski resort of the Swiss Alps. Until the mid-19th century, it was predominantly an agricultural community; the first and tragic ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865 was followed by a rush on the mountains surrounding the village, leading to the construction of many tourist facilities.
The Sunnegga Paradise is accessed via a funicular railway, followed by a gondola to Blauherd and finally a cable car onwards to the Rothorn (3,103m) above. The topography of the mountain and the valley tends to keep the Rothorn clear and sunny, even when Zermatt is submerged in cloud.
From Blauherd there is a gondola down to Gant, and from there a connecting cablecar goes to Hohtälli. This cable car and the newer 4-seat chairlift Sunnegga-Findeln-Breitboden provide connections between Sunnegga and Gornergrat. With few steep slopes, this mountain is often used to train younger skiers.
The Matterhorn (German), Monte Cervino (Italian) or Mont Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Its summit is 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high, making it one of the highest peaks in the Alps. The four steep faces, rising above the surrounding glaciers, indicate the four compass points. The mountain overlooks the town of Zermatt in the canton of Valais to north-east and Breuil-Cervinia in the Aosta Valley to the south. The Theodul Pass, located at the eastern base of the peak, is the lowest passage between its north and south side.
Sierre (German: Siders) is the capital of the district of Sierre in the canton of Valais in Switzerland. It has a population of 14,355.
It is situated on the French-German language border of the canton of Wallis (Valais in French). As a German-speaking minority lives in Sierre, it counts as one of the three official bilingual towns in Switzerland. Sierre is starting point for the tourist sites of the Val d'Anniviers comprising the villages of Vercorin, Chandolin, St-Luc Vissoie, St-Jean Chandolin, Grimentz, Zinal and Ayer. Sierre is connected with Crans-Montana by a funicular railway.
Sion (German Sitten is the capital of the Swiss canton of Valais. In 2007, its population was around 28,800.
Landmarks include the Basilique de Valère and Château de Tourbillon. Sion has an airfield for civilian and military use, which, because of its location in a valley, causes a reasonable amount of noise pollution. FC Sion is the local football team. They currently compete in the Swiss Super League.
Martigny (German Martinach is the capital of the French-speaking district of Martigny in the canton of Valais in Switzerland. It lies at an elevation of 471 meters, and its population is approximately 15000 inhabitants. It is a junction of roads joining Italy, France and Switzerland. One road links it over the Great St. Bernard Pass to Aosta (Italy), and the other over the col de la Forclaz to Chamonix (France). In winter, Martigny is appreciated for its numerous nearby Alp ski resorts such as Verbier.
The Romans left many archaeological remains in Martigny. The city is known for its amphitheatre, which was restored in 1978. Cow fights are held in the amphitheatre during early autumn for the Comptoir. The city is notable for its Pierre Gianadda Foundation (Fondation Pierre Gianadda) museum. This is the most important cultural attraction in Martigny and, in addition to the Gallo-Roman Museum, houses a car museum. The building was constructed around the remains of a former Roman temple built on top of Roman ruins. The foundation hosts three painting exhibitions every year, with works by renowned masters.

Snow play in Zinal
We visited the ski town of Zinal. We played while the most adventurous ones skied through a snow storm. We spend some family time and played with the snow when the storms finally stopped, at night! Snow Angels, snow ball fights, sledding you name it we did it. It was fun and freezing. Then we got some spectacular views as we drove back. Enjoy!

Doppelmayr/Garaventa Téléphériques va-et-vient (2015)
La caractéristique de ce téléphérique, qui lui donne son nom, est le type de déplacement. Les véhicules – en général un ou deux – se déplacent en aller et retour. Ils sont tirés par un câble tracteur sur un ou deux câbles porteurs. Les chariots des véhicules qui se déplacent sur les câbles porteurs, sont reliés l’un à l’autre par les câbles tracteurs inférieur et supérieur. Dans l’une des stations, le câble passe dans l’entraînement, et dans la station opposée, il est tendu par un contrepoids pour obtenir la tension de base nécessaire. Pour des désirs ou exigences spécifiques, Doppelmayr/Garaventa propose également des constructions spéciales.
Les vallées, gorges, rivières ou glaciers peuvent être traversés facilement par ce type de téléphérique. Il est également de plus en plus utilisé en milieu urbain. Des portées atteignant 3 km sont tout à fait possibles. Une cabine peut transporter de 6 à 200 personnes, et suivant la vitesse (qui peut atteindre 12 m/s), et la longueur de la voie, la capacité est de 500 à 2000 personnes par heure.
Valais
The Canton of Valais is one of the 26 cantons of Switzerland, situated in the southwestern part of the country, around the valley of the Rhône from its headwaters to Lake Geneva, separating the Pennine Alps from the Bernese Alps. The canton is simultaneously one of the driest regions of Switzerland in its central Rhône valley and among the wettest, having large amounts of snow and rain up on the highest peaks found in Switzerland. The canton of Valais is widely known for the Matterhorn and resort towns such as Saas Fee, Verbier, and Zermatt. It is composed of 13 districts and its capital is Sion.
