Here's a look at some of the world's coolest ski lifts
, St. Anton, Austria
The Schindlergrat gondola begins along more or less along the same route as the old lift, but now there's an intermediate exit point where the former lift ended. Continuing on for another 420 meters, the gondola's final stop is at a new mountain station near Valluga ski lift. The quirky lift, more than 40 years old, rises from the 12th-century village at 1,480 meters and trundles, via two intermediary stations, to a high point of 3,200 meters amid a wild and tumbling mountainscape of glaciers, cliffs and crevasses. There's only one rudimentary run up here, and no ski patrol. This is skiing"sauvage." Anyone venturing from the cable car station must trust their skills and their mountain guide to get home safely.
