It was Hochzillertal, the Wimbachexpress gondola in Kaltenbach.
There were no people on the lift, as they had closed it due to the weather/winds.

A frightening incident unfolded this morning in Kaltenbach, Austria. Several 10-passenger gondolas on the”Wimbachexpress” at Hochzillertal got hung up on a tower and collided into one another.

I am surprised that some kind of automatic stop system did not kick in before that number of cars got tangled with the pylon.
