Around 240 skiers were temporarily stranded in the French Alps on Tuesday due to a faulty chairlift.
According to the authorities in the Hautes-Alpes department, a chairlift at the Superdévoluy station was blocked at around 1 p.m. due to a power failure.
"Due to a power failure to the motors, the Festoure chairlift at the Superdévoluy ski station is not working," read the statement.

A helicopter was also used during the subsequent evacuation.
According to the prefecture, the rescue of the 240 skiers was completed in the late afternoon.
