The modern circulating ropeway system reduces pressure on the sensitive mountain environment and helps to preserve the protected high plateau. This vital mode of transport carries 1.5 million passengers every year. Together with measures to regulate private transport, this saves an average of 5.75 million car kilometres* and helps to reduce traffic on the Alpe di Siusi.
