how were cable cars/ ropeways built in the Alps? How was all the construction material transported to the top of the mountain?

They just built the building on top and ran the cables.
I saw pics from the same period, early 20th century, of when they built the first metro tunnels and how they demolished buildings, all done by manual labour with picks.
They used carts, pulleys and elbow grease. You’d be amazed to see how they were building bridges in antiquity: https://youtu.be/tggEdsaWbpQ
