The valley station of the Renon Cable Car in Via Renon, Bolzano, is a modern building, in the facade of which the surrounding buildings are reflected. It can be reached on foot or by bus from the centre. In 2009 it has been reopened and since then the parking space in front is no longer for free. Foto: AT, © Peer -

Bolzano di Sopra, a village that belongs to the Renon high plateau, and its beautiful bulbous spire dating back to the 20th century. From 1907 to 1964 there was a rack railway, which in 1966 has been replaced by a ropeway. Foto: AT, © Peer -

Some hundered years ago, the only means of transport at the Renon was a cog railway and later on this railway has been replaced by a cable car. Until 2007. A renovation period of two years followed and today a continuously circulating three cable tramway takes you up and down the Renon. The hourly transport capacity features eight cabins, each transporting 35 people to Bolzano within 12 minutes only. Every four minutes.
By the way: Bozano di Sopra offers the last narrow-gauge railroad which is still in service and shows visitors the Renono up to Collalbo. Or you can also make a ride with the Corno del Renon Cable Car from Pemmern or even further up and on foot to the Corno del Renon. Also bicycles are transported. :-).
However, the Renon Cable Car is also perfect for holidays at the Renon, if you would like to make a day trip to Bolzano. Also commuters use the pleasant and comfortable way to reach Bolzano.
