Two cable cars in the capital of South Tyrol

From the town to the top of the mountain

Bolzano, the capital of South Tyrol, is situated at an altitude of 265 m. Nevertheless, the mountains and lofty heights are not far away: Two cable cars take city dwellers and visitors on a ten minute ride to above 1,000 m. At the top fresh mountain air, the panorama and the extensive meadows fascinate visitors. The cable cars can be used with Mobilcard & Co.
