<p>A photo of the wreckage taken by Italy’s fire service showed the crushed remains of the cable car in a clearing among a thick patch of pine trees near the summit of the Mottarone peak overlooking Lake Maggiore.</p>
<p>At that location, the cables of the ski lift were particularly high off the ground, said Walter Milan, spokesman for the Alpine rescue service. The cause has not been determined.</p>
<p>Mr Milan said the cable line was renovated in 2016 and had only recently reopened after coronavirus lockdowns forced the closures of ski lifts across Italy.</p>
<p>Mottarone reaches a height of 1,491m (4,900ft) and overlooks the picturesque lake and the surrounding Alps of Italy’s Piedmont region.</p>
<p>The mountain features a small amusement park, Alpyland, that has a children’s rollercoaster offering 360-degree views of the scenery.</p>
<p>Many Italian ski areas feature mountain bike paths and hiking trails that are popular in spring and summer.</p>
