The Ritten cable car

There’s no ride smoother than this one: the Ritten cable car takes you from Bozen up to Ritten, for hiking and holiday escapes, for a day trip to another place. Or go from top to bottom — head down to Bozen for a day in the city, shopping and wandering the historic streets. With only 12 minutes of travel time and continuous service, leisurely transport has a whole new meaning on Ritten.
 
The Ritten cable car connects the provincial capital Bolzano with Soprabolzano. A gondola leaves the station in Bolzano and Oberbozen every 4-12 minutes.
Journey time: 12 minutes.
The next maintenance work on the Ritten cable car will take place from 2nd March to 27th March 2026 inclusive.
During this period, a replacement service will be provided by bus B161, timetable
