A quick look at some of the things that happened this week in the world of cable cars, urban gondolas, and cable propelled transit:

- Perhaps the world’s most luxurious gondola cabin is set to debut in Zillertal, Austria. Select cabin interiors are fully decked out with a BMW 7-Series inspired theme which includes leather seats, massage chairs and complementary champagne. The cost to ride this you ask? Just a measly 150 Euros.
- Reports indicate that Peru’s capital, Lima, is planning to develop a vision to include a network of cable cars which connects to some of the city’s most topographically challenged and impoverished districts.
- After a Freedom of Information request, details emerge over the schedule of payments made to the Emirates Air Line by Emirates.
- Vail Mountain ski resort in Colorado is set to host a celebration today for the unveiling of its newest gondola system today called the, “One”.
- It appears that the Koblenz Rheinseilbahn is set to stay for another couple years after Doppelmayr, the system’s operator, has signed a letter to continue operations. How this affects the surrounding area’s UNESCO heritage status is unclear.
