Elsewhere admired only as a vintage exhibition piece, the nostalgic single chairlift at Vigiljoch has been swaying comfortably and safely for many decades up to 1,814 m above sea level. After first reaching the car-free plateau with the cable car from Lana, the peaceful ride on the chairlift begins: 15 uplifting minutes of silence and solitude with nature, gliding over picturesque larch forests and walking paths – a small experience in itself.
The mountain station is located close to the historic little church at Vigiljoch and offers even more: a forest playground for children, a panoramic platform overlooking the Adige Valley, and it is the starting point for numerous hikes in all directions. Along the way, cosy alpine huts and mountain inns invite you to stop and enjoy South Tyrolean specialties together with the breathtaking views.
First take the Vigiljoch cable car from Lana up to the Vigiljoch, where the single chairlift starts.
