About
the world's first cable car for passengers.
Funivia del Colle (Kohlerer Bahn) is an aerial lift connecting the city of Bolzano with nearby Monte Pozza, known locally as Colle. The lift starts at an elevation of about 853 feet (260 meters) and reaches the village of Colle di Villa at an elevation of over 3,000 feet (1,100 meters). This makes the Funivia del Colle the first aerial lift intended for passenger use in Europe. It was inaugurated on June 29, 1908, a month before the Wetterhorn Lift in Switzerland.
