I'm confused. I see the gondola hanging there. But are they loading it? Do they alternate them and have two different loading areas? Then they end up on the same cable? Because I'm not catching your drift with that little snip of video.
Yeah, it’s definitely hard to get a good picture of what’s going on there from that video.
The gondola is actually coming from another area at the other end of a long valley (behind the cameraman). That station is at the base of that particular face; hence, the chair. Since there’s nothing at that base that’s worth getting out for, the gondola joins onto the same cable as the chair and takes you to the top when it’s going that direction. When your going the other direction, there’s a loading area for the gondola just out of shot to the right in that base station.
So if you ski down the face and want to go right back up, you get on the chair. When you want to go to Warth-Schroecken, you get on the gondola a little to the right from the cameraman’s POV. When you’re coming back to Lech from Warth-Schroecken, the gondola mixes in with the chairs at that station and takes you up the face, rather than dumping people at the bottom and making them go right over to the chair. So that face has a mix of chairs and cabins going up it.
