About ropewaygrips
Ropewaygrips is a Swiss-based German-language channel run by Jan Salvisberg, who documents cable car grips, ski lifts and historic aerial ropeways. Videos are low-production and typically run four to six minutes, mixing archival footage, detailed explanations of grip mechanisms and occasional livestreams. Salvisberg's website describes the project as a blog about detachable gondola grips, and it also lists a model cable car he built in his garden.
Audience size is small, with about 1,400 subscribers and a median of roughly 1,700 views per video. Based on the German language and the subject matter, viewers are likely enthusiasts, engineers and hobbyists in Switzerland, Germany and Austria; this is an estimate. The channel has no sponsorship history.
Rate guidance: a sponsored video would be priced at $150 to $250, which is well above a $10 CPM benchmark for paid ads. Brands seeking a precise engineering audience in the German-speaking Alps should consider it.
