Zermatt, Switzerland has spent the last few years, and $52 million, building the world's highest "3S" lift to the summit of Klein Matterhorn. It just opened with gondola cabins complete with Swarovski Diamonds.

On my last trip in 2017 this was well underway. They built a new terminal on the summit. This will be used for their skiing and sightseeing operations. The video is damn impressive.
The lift provides a more windproof back-up to the existing tram.
