One person died when a gondola cabin detached from its cable and tumbled down a mountain at the Titlis ski resort in Switzerland.

The incident occurred when the gondola cabin became separated from the cable system and rolled down the mountainside. Video footage captured the cabin flipping multiple times as it descended the slope.

Witnesses at the resort observed the accident as it unfolded. The Titlis resort is a popular skiing destination in the Swiss Alps.

Authorities have not yet released details about the victim's identity or the circumstances that led to the gondola's detachment from the cable system. An investigation into the cause of the accident is expected to follow.

Gondola systems are a common form of transportation at ski resorts worldwide, carrying skiers and tourists up mountain slopes. Safety incidents involving cable car systems, while rare, can result in serious casualties due to the mountainous terrain.
