Gondola lift connection between San Martino and the Rolle Pass

The works for the construction of a gondola lift connecting San Martino to the Rolle Pass are underway. The main contractor is the Leitner firm, working side by side with Collini Spa, Misconel Srl and Grisenti Srl. With the contract signature the authorisation phase for the works is coming to an end.

The infrastructure consists of a 1650 meters long gondola lift with 5 stations over 500 meters altitude difference which is covered by the 10 seats-passenger cabins in 17 minutes (corresponding to a cruise speed of 6 m/s and a wind resistance of up until 75 km/h) and can transport up to 1500 passengers per hour. The whole line is built to transport up to 1800 passengers per hour.

In connection with the lift, a new panoramic ski trail from Malga Fosse to Prà delle Nasse is under construction. As a consequence, part of the main road SS50 will be rebuilt, in order to ensure a better viability especially during the winter months. The overall cost of the whole infrastructure will almost reach 55 million euros.

The works are expected to end in winter 2026/2027.
