New Lifts on the Sella Ronda
Login
A number of new lifts are opening this month at ski areas on the giant Sella Ronda circuit in the Italian Dolomites.
At Val Gardena/Alpe di Siusi there's a major new gondola, with the largest cabins possible, each capable of carrying 10 passenger. It's nearly two miles long and has an hourly uplift capacity of 3000 people.
Named the "Dantercepies" lift it has a mid-way station on its 2,578m cable length as it climbs 644m uphill.
All three stations at the bottom, in the middle and at the top have been designed to be aesthetically pleasing and integrates in to the landscape.
In Val di Fassa, there's another 10 passeger gondola lift connecting the village of Nova Levante with the slopes of Frommer Alm over a distance of 3.6km (two and a quarter miles).
Finally in Arabba/Marmolada a new six seater detachable chairlift, Alpenrose, links Pont de Vauz to Arabba but climbs only 131 vertical metres over its 1.2km length, the aim to avoid a flat section for skiers.
Arabba has also unveiled a new kilometre long red run, "Rutort" from Bec de Roces to the Campolongo Pass.
