A few minutes up to the top

Lift access to the mountains has a long-standing tradition in South Tyrol. The lift facilities today are suitably innovative and spectacular to reflect this.

Work began early on in South Tyrol to secure comfortable and safe access to the higher-altitude towns. The Kohlerer Seilbahn cable car began operation in 1908. This is one of three cable cars in total which links Bolzano/Bozen with the surrounding summer holiday resorts. The second cable car was installed in 1912 from Lana to the Vigiljoch pass. This is still operating today. A great deal has happened since then.
