The top of Alpe d'Huez looked like that last week. I was impressed they got it open.

Where do you think they would put it, then? Cable cars are not detachable from the cable. If one is down the bottom, the other must be at the top. I believe they leave them a few metres out of the station so that the top one does not get frozen into the station.

Can't watch the video but I assumed it was due to the huge Avalanche risk in Paradiski up high..

This was the bottom station of the Pic Blanc cable car which runs up to the top of the glacier in Alpe d'Huez on Friday. I was impressed they'd got it running. Things were a tad chilly though.

Unusual for the Alps to have such heavy icing.
This is much more common in our damp climate. Presumably caused by high humidity when it was raining to high elevations and the freezing level was fluctuating wildly.
The recent cold conditions will have freeze dried the ice. Lots of potential for damage and injury when it is bashed off. There are no subtle ways to deal with it, other than perhaps wait for things to warm up.
