The skiing and hiking area of La Crusc in Alta Badia will be soon equipped with a revolutionary innovation: new cable car

The now old two-seater chairlift “La Crusc" will be replaced by a modern cable car.

In summer, with the existing chairlift it takes about 14 minutes to reach the mountain station, in the future, the cable car will only take three minutes. Groups, especially those with children, will be able to reach to the top more easily, faster. The modern cable car offer much more comfort and safety, especially for children and elderly.

The new cable car La Crusc is the first lift station in all Alta Badia that will be fully equipped with heated seats. Guests will no longer be exposed to the weather conditions.
