Watch: Strong winds jolt ski lift with skiers on board

Footage shows chairlifts at an Italian ski resort being violently shaken by winds of over 100km/h (62mph).

At least one of the lifts had passengers on board, who all reached their destination safely, according to resort operator Cervino Spa.

The facility in Breuil-Cervinia, at Italy's northern tip, had already been closed to the public due to bad weather conditions, and those on the lift were the last skiers making their way to the upper station.
