| First monocable detachable gondola worldwide. During the operating period springs were added to cabin suspension and most of the pylons were replaced. On 1 August 1971 two cabins fell onto the ground between pylon 8 and 9 killing four people. The ropeway was never reopened after the accident. Top station with cabins inside and most of the pylons are still standing. Valley station was removed in mid 2000s.
