Cable cars with bike transport
Beam me up, Scotty!
Sit down, ride off, and just like that: You’re already on top of the mountain. Mountain bikers disapproved of cable cars and lifts for a long time, but not anymore. At the end of the day, some cable cars open up a new world of possible tours and connections.
Using cable cars in South Tyrol is not only something that cyclists and mountain bikers are no longer ashamed of but also a welcome feature that they’re happy to use to conquer great altitudes quickly and without exerting extra effort.
