Bold ventures between landscape, function and traditional building culture. The architecture and the associated innovation is very important in South Tyrol. In addition, it is a region that dares a lot in terms of construction. This is reflected in the unique whiskey distillery, the technically adept climbing hall and the unique hotel complex. Sometimes more, sometimes less unpretentious, the works fit into the characteristic landscape of South Tyrol. Be it mountains or between palm trees and cypresses. Discover the current interplay of landscape and architecture, which only exists once in this form.
Every 4 minutes a cabin leaves the station and arrives 12 minutes later.
The Renon cable car is a show case for public Transport worldwide. Transport links between Bozen and the Ritten have a long tradition. More than 100 years ago, the Bozen aristocracy travelled on the cog railway from the Waltherplatz in Bozen to the Ritten. This railway was replaced in 1966 by a cable car, which after 40 years of service no longer exists. In 2009 the new cable car was opened for public, the first of its kind in Italy.
In the winter season 2021/22 the new cable car Olang 1+2 will be open for skiers for the first time.
With a speed of 6.5m/s and a transport capacity of 3,900 persons per hour, the new lift is the ascent system with the highest transport capacity at Kronplatz/Plan de Corones.
With the architectural masterpiece of Dip-Ing. Cornelius Schlotthauer (former Senior Associate at Zaha Hadid Architects) and the modern lift technology of Doppelmayr Italia, the Olang 1+2 lift system is the new highlight on the No. 1 ski mountain in South Tyrol.
The new cable car is not only the fastest and most innovative, but also one of the most comfortable lifts leading directly from the valley to the summit.
