- MATTERHORN MEGA PROJECT: Building Europe’s Highest Cable Car | WELT Documentary
The Matterhorn is the site of one of Europe's most ambitious cable car projects, designed to connect Switzerland with Italy. This extraordinary construction effort at over 3800 meters altitude faces extreme weather conditions that can change six times a day. The project involves heavy cargo deliveries by helicopter, making it a remarkable feat of engineering and logistics. The goal is to create Europe’s highest alpine cable car, linking Klein Matterhorn in Switzerland to Testa Grigia in Italy.
Working at such high altitudes presents numerous challenges, including thin air, freezing temperatures, and the need for specialized machinery. Every component is pre-assembled in South Tyrol to ensure perfect fitting when transported to the construction site. The construction team, battling harsh weather, must maintain precision and safety at all times. This project is not just about building a cable car; it is about overcoming nature’s obstacles with innovation and resilience.
The Matterhorn Glacier Ride aims to become a monumental achievement in the Alps, enhancing connectivity and tourism between the two countries. The cable car system features state-of-the-art technology, ensuring smooth and stable rides even in strong winds. Once completed, it will offer breathtaking views and a seamless travel experience across the iconic mountain range. This project underscores the engineering prowess and determination required to achieve such an extraordinary goal.

They would be some fit and tough lads working there. Working at altitude in extreme conditions and shovelling constantly is like being in the gym all day every day.
35:45 nice ladder slide!
I need to correct something. Fatzer is located in Romanshorn Switzerland. Not in Germany. Great documentary..
All of these "new" Cable Car components will be used to repair/replace existing Cable Car runs throughout the region.
this epic music is so not necessary! at least vol. down a bit..
🏆🤗💪🙏
Thank you for sharing this
thank you fo diz, welt documentary.
💯🌟💎
tourists only get to see and ride da finished product, jellybean.
but lewk how awesomazing itz behind da scenes engineering is.
defo a race to da top and itz workers delivered.
also connectin' two countries --- dat makes me feel totally giddy.
plus another lighter note: i want a 'bao-bao' gondola design.
nyehehehehehehehehehe.
💕🤣🤩🙌🌺🌈💖
best documentary chanel
Yes, but too many politics, wars, weapons, tanks and fighters.
The good people refuse the worst of humanity.
“was”, perhaps taking into account the fact that over the past week three dubious two-minute news clips have been posted. If they continue in the same vein, then I will unsubscribe, this is not what I need.
Really?
Absolutely amazing project 💪
DW thanks for sharing this documentary !
nothing to say, exept: WOOW.
Interesting, the testing on the wires and components was done at a lower altitude and a normal temperature, let’s hope it holds up to the extreme conditions where it counts
Believe me, these people, companies and engineers know what they are doing and this is not the first cable car they are building (there are around 2,400 cable car systems in Switzerland).

Von der mitte von Nirgendwo in der Schweiz zur mitte von Nirgendwo in Italien
Not exactly, this new gondola lift adds more possibilities of access to the glacier in the international ski area Zermat (Switzerland)-Cervinia (Italy). Although it is likely that they will raise the daily cost from the current 70 to €90/100
Shnow ships
WHAT NAME THIS ROBOT IS THAT MAKE IT ?
😳😳😳
Sad, we swiss don't like it. We would like to have our mountains for us, not for tourists.
😮
Poor mountain no longer free of human hardware
Haven’t seen a single woman in this video . And yet every women that will ride this telecabin will tell you how they don’t need men
14:50 for one.
Destroying a beautiful mountainside for tourists.
Yes but aldo not
Also
Jesus…don’t be dramatic
Money money money😅😅😅
they aren’t destroying it. Why do people always find something to hate…
I know it’s added for drama, but one needs to be careful how many times they say how it’s being built on a strict deadline…..
I personally won’t interact with machinery that was built according to timeline rather than quality. Use China and their many belt and road projects for example. It’s all falling apart…..Tom
Why are they building this cable car system in the first place? Who are the commuters who need this? Or is it yet another pricey tourist trap at 100 francs per ride?
It is certainly not intended for commuters, tourists, skiers who want to go from the Italian to the Swiss side (or vice versa). This trip alone certainly doesn't cost CHF 100, but I wouldn't expect it to be cheap either.
the shit they do to nature...sad, they should just leave it alone
Been there last week, absolutely impressive to stand at almost 3900 meters and have a closeup view of the Breithorn, a 4000+ meter peak.
To all the haters: not exactly sure what it’s “ruining”, the Swiss and Italians have a knack for making mountains accessible in a non-intrusive way.
As a Swiss I can confirm this is true. Buildings such as these on a mountain add to the mountain experience instead of ruining it. The mountain is still there, nothing that has been built is big enough do ruin a mountain.
I was there a little over a month ago as well, I loved being able to pop out of the station to climb Breithorn and be back in Zermatt in just a few hours. The Klein Matterhorn cable car provides phenomenal access to to the mountains for all kinds of people who would otherwise never get to experience the views and terrain you find up there.

"At 3,800 meters, every bolt has to be in place...!"
That's something I didn't expect ...
The roof on a new stadium in Detroit collapsed because the team putting it together thought it would flex better under extreme weather variations if they left half the bolts out. When they rebuilt it, the engineers had to explain the roof was designed to flex with ALL the bolts in.
@@philscott7949 ... they were clearly asking for it ...!
That's why building at sea level is so much easier. You don't have to use any fasteners.
@@chadchadchadchadchad .... 🤣🤣🤣👍
@@chadchadchadchadchad Yeh, at seal-level, the item can't fall and there is no need to fasten.
god bless white people
@gary- Gos is extremely embarrassed about White people
@@siriosstar4789 Wait wasn't he the one who created them ? 😂
21:07 not a turntable😂, it’s called a bullwheel.
When it absolutely CANNOT fail...German and Swiss engineers won't let you down...Amazing logistical nightmare carried out by some of the best in the industry....Thanks for the upload...Very interesting! It must be amazing to be born and live in those areas of the world...None of the pressures like we have here in Philly...:)
Great guys
pelo que tenho acompanhado pela internet, EUA, com grande problema de drogas e sem teto, e talvez o pior de tudo, a volta do amalucado Donald trump, sem falar no apoio ao açougueiro Sionista, responsável pela matança de inocentes pessoas (palestinos)
Maybe you meant "Altoatesini engineers". If you really knew the area where they come from you would know that altoatesini are South Tyroleans for first and nothing they have to do with Germans. It is true that they are a german speaking community (more exactly an austrian speaking) but they are Italian by birth and passport as well is 100% Italian the company those engineers work for. And for what i know so far the other big worlwide competitor of HTI (of which Leiner it is part) is the austrian Doppelmayr. So no typical German industrial sector, perhaps in the future but not now.
@@giuseppepizzichemi5194 I WROTE what I meant...Never heard of those guys so...They must suck .

7:01 @kurzgesagt i can't believe it's you!
Good doch, but who is the narrator?
Can anyone tell him that compound nouns are stressed on part one, not two?
It‘s _return_ trip, not return _trip_
_waiting_ game, not waiting _game_
_quality_ standards, not quality _standards_
_rear_ part, not rear _part_
_custom_ manufactured, not custom _manufactured_ .
air can’t be soo hard. Professional speakers should do better!
guys be playing "death stranding" irl
That's an incredible achievement! At this altitude above Switzerland.
The one in Mürren is MUCH better, it will be open this December. It will be the steepest cable car in the world (160% inclination)
You have a UAP at 1:54 RHS descending black ball. Not a camera or glass reflection, It glints in one frame! Just saying...
Overall great channel with docs like they used to be!! Not sure if you are the producers of the docs themselves. If you have influence, here's some well-intended feedback: All the docs that I've seen have, in my opinion, oversimplified or "dumbed things down" too much. Sometimes even minor factual errors just to swoop over a detail instead of diving in a little bit deeper.Also just in this one I think you don't need to fade the music. Keep it at the lower level as a maximum. Thank you for your hard work!
Amazing project
so cool😊
1:51 top left? 😂 🎉, truly interesting documentaries,
i didnt see any woman on top of that mountain during construction. where is the equality
pervert
Black tap like 3 wertical shweylers red
Been here and was amazed
Teknologi yang sangat lur biasa ,dengan orang orang yang jenius👍
Imboden is also a little town in Arkansas
Right down the road from Inbreaden
36:05 2000 litres, it litteraly says 915
it looks fantastic. what to do when yu ski to cervinia italia
5 minutes explaining exactly what problem they have solved would have been nice. Is there a tunnel for people to walk through to the other cable car at the top? How do people get to the base station which is just 1.5km lower than the peak?
This is "american style" document. They repeat obvious things 5 times. But they do not explain the basic stuff.
Why!?
Global warming initiatives.
😢😮😊😢😮😊
Leave this peak alone!
Very sad. Yet another human metal crap on virgin mountain and nature...
Wow, that mountain has been destroyed in the process.
These guys have the best job in the world.
Dam for snow
"This" can be called "art"
for my understanding !!!
I don’t get why the need for this project
Non si può capire tutto nella vita.

Incredible gang of fellas workin at that hight an weather conditions.💯💯🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
YIKES! 60 million Euros sure sounds impressive!
But um.....hold on there folks; cause once again it's California that REALLY knows how to SPEND money; Ladies and Gentlemen; I give you the puny, 200 hundred long, Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing outside of Los Angeles that is projected to cost $92 MILLION ! (84,579,280. Euro!!!) It's basically a "Disneyland style" bridge over the 101 highway for deer and mountain lions.
America; FOOK YEAH!
This is completely irrelevant. Go spew your nonsense somewhere else.
The costs, well, here's a small but important difference, these are private stock companies. Tax money is not primarily used here.
41:45 that looks like the starting point to an absolutely amazing roller coaster
well we do have plenty of mountain coasters here in Switzerland
👎👎we are learning the the environmental cost of these lifts. Just like the Hoover Damn…maybe we need to ask, should we, instead of, can we.
Another mountain destroyed..
