The accident occurred early this morning under 'challenging weather conditions' as the upmarket resort in France prepared to open for ski season

At least six people have reportedly been injured in a cable car accident in the popular Alpine ski resort of Val Thorens in France.

A cabin of the Cime Caron cable car, used for construction work, hit the arrival station while carrying 16 workers. Two people were found 'seriously injured' and four 'slightly injured', the local prefecture reported. Val Thorens is an exceptionally high ski station in the Alps, making it a top destination for skiers wanting guaranteed snow as climate change hits resorts at lower altitudes.
