New Opening 2025/2026 - Gondola Francolini - Sommo Alto
A dream that becomes reality: the new Leitner gondola lift of Alpe Cimbra
There are dreams that are born far away, on old black-and-white postcards, waiting patiently for the right moment to become the future.On Alpe Cimbra in Folgaria, that moment has arrived: for the winter 2025/2026, one of the most awaited projects of recent decades comes to life, the new 10-seater Leitner gondola lift,a project that brings together innovation, sustainability, and deep respect for the territory.The new gondola replaces a historic lift from the 1970s, a symbol of a mountain that was then beginning to imagine modern tourism.Today, that vision returns stronger, turning into a completely renewed experience: faster, more comfortable, and better suited to the needs of today’s travellers.
From the woods of Francolini to the panoramas of Sommo Alto in just 8 minutes
The route is an invitation to travel. In 2.8 kilometres you rise from Francolini (1,178 m) up to Sommo Alto (1,620 m),wrapped in modern, bright, and quiet cabins. A comfort you notice immediately: more space, internal holders for skis and snowboards, total safety.
A gentle flight above the forest, the ideal time to breathe the mountain air, even if only for eight minutes.
The new Francolini slope: a white ribbon crossing the forest
What makes this project truly special is also the new Francolini slope, a 3.2 km run that winds through the quiet of the forest, designed to offer emotions to skiers of all levels.Thanks to the latest-generation TechnoAlpin snowmaking system, the snow will always be perfect and uniform throughout the season, making skiing even smoother, more natural, and enjoyable.
