Rasciesa Chairlift

If you are brave enough take this single chairlift ride from Ortisei up to Raschotz area and glide effortlessly up through the trees to a wonderful panorama at the top.
The chailift has been operating since spring of 1952 and covers in about 15 minutes a height of more than 818m. It opens up lovely hiking possibiliites at the top - we enjoyed the one to Brogles hut (see travelogue for more info) and in the winter there is a sleigh run.

Gondola Ride

A favourite gondola was the one up to Toni Demetz Rifugio (Sassolungo range) and a hair-raising walk down to the Rif. Vicenza.
The gondolas are moving continuously so you need to be quick to jump on and only have room for 2-3 people each. They looked a bit like upright coffins to us.! The trail then leads around the outside of the Sassolungo to Rif. Comici. Its a bit dicey at first - wear good hiking boots - as even in summer there was snow at the top. More info in the travelogue.
