iStock/Thinkstock(CHAMONIX, France) — Rescuers in the French Alps are working to evacuate 110 people from a stranded cable car in the resort area of Chamonix, according to authorities.
The stranded passengers are being rescued by helicopters operated by both French and Italian first responders, Eric Fournier, Mayor of Chamonix, said on French television. The cable car is located between two mountains — Aiguille du Midi and Pointe Helbronner — mountain police rescuers in Chamonix confirmed to ABC News.
Both of the peaks are in the shadow of the famed Mont Blanc.
It was not clear what caused the cable car to get stuck or how high up the car was.
It was also unclear if there were injuries.
