A couple died and their baby was seriously injured after an Alpine cable car they were using collapsed and fell nearly 100ft, Swiss police have said.
The family had been using a ropeway - a form of small cable car meant only for the transport of goods - downhill from the top station at Alp Baerlaui.
The wooden car came off its cable about 900 metres into its journey and dropped nearly 100ft into the forested mountainside.
Police said the 38-year-old father and 31-year-old mother were killed instantly.
Their one-year-old baby, which was being carried in a rucksack, was protected from the worst of the impact by branches and bushes which reduced the speed of the fall.
Ropeways make it easier to move supplies to and from mountain chalets and pastures, and it is illegal for them to carry people.
An investigation has been launched by police.
