What you didn't know about ropeways

Part of my "mighty machines" series, this video is a VIP tour going deeply behind the scenes of the Gondelbahn (ropeway) Flaschen near Leukerbad VS, Switzerland.
Thanks to the permission of the head operating manager, I was able to take close-up shots shots of the ropeway from locations a passenger can never access. Join us for this adventurous tour while we explain in detail how the ropeway works.
This video is not sponsored. However, I cannot thank enough the staff of the Gondelbahn Flaschen who generously dedicated me their time and patiently explained everything from top to bottom.
In case you'd rather just watch for yourself instead of taking the tour, I'd recommend this video from Gondelbahn Monde:

• Albinenleitern-Torrentalp-Rinderhütte
Update: According to the following video, this is the last ropeway built by VonRoll. Thanks to Georg Obergfell for pointing this out. Link:
