Alpe di Siusi cable car

The Ortisei cable car was the first-ever cable car connection to the Alpe di Siusi. From 1935 onwards, its two wooden cabins transported 15 to 16 passengers up to the mountain in just 6 minutes. This cable car laid the ground stones for modern winter tourism, and was followed by further ski lifts on the Alpe di Siusi and on the slopes of Ronc and Vidalonch.

The cable car was expanded for the first time in 1968, while 1999 saw the construction of the gondola lift, capable of transporting 2,200 passengers per hour up to the Alpe di Siusi.
