I never thought about how these lifts are built. All I know is it is scary sitting on them let alone building them.
Wow, that is an amazing engineering feat Dorie. Thanks for letting us know about that.
Dorie, It is amazing to watch how they do things! Those are some great photos!
Good eveninbg Jane,
I thought I would be scared but I wasn't! It was so awesome and they were so stabilized they were very smooth riding :).
Hi Tony,
I was in awe! It's up so high..you can't imagine how they can engineer these structures :).
Dorie, how truly amazing it is to engineer these structures.... I agree with Jane that lifts are scary... so scary!
Good morning Dorie. It is amazing what folks are able to do when they put their minds to it...
Hi Rebecca,
If I can ride them.... anyone can..the vistas are so beautiful !!
Hi Dorie.
Thank you for sharing.
On top of many mountains there are restaurants that get their supplies via helicopter.
I enjoy reading your post.
Dorie - great pictures of the Matterhorn - breathtaking! It must be quite a spectacular view from the gondola. However, I must say that their system for building new structures sounds a little archaic, but what do I know - lol!
Good morning Joshua,
The restaurant we ate at that is how they got their food!! It's amazing!!
Good morning Kristine,
The views are breathtaking for sure! At first glance the system for building new structures do sound archaic but when dealing with that height, altitude and lack of normal delivery it appears to be a good way to get the job done!
Dorie, such great shots and it is awe inspiring to witness what ingenuity and determination will accomplish. I love the Truman quote.
