Chairlift cable damaged at Cervinia ski resort

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 8 - The steel cable of a ski lift at the Cervinia ski resort was damaged by unknown persons, probably with a hose, ANSA sources said Monday, in the third such incident after two in 2015.
    The Cervino SpA company, which manages the ski resort, discovered it Monday morning and reported the incident to the Carabinieri.
    The damaged cable is on the Cielo Alto chairlift: it was not severed, but splintered.
    The chairlift remained closed all day Monday after the control system revealed the problem in the morning.
    This is not the first case in the valley at the foot of the Matterhorn: two similar episodes had already occurred in 2015, at Cervinia and at Valtournenche. (ANSA).
