Rifugio Sapienza-Montagnola (YOC 2021)
New 6-seater gondola lift at Etna

Circulating ropeway/gondola lift at the ski resort Etna South – Nicolosi

Overview
Monti Silvestri
The new 6-seater cable car Rifugio Sapienza-Montagnola replaces the aging 6-seater gondola lift by Agudio. The new gondola lift from Leitner requires significantly fewer towers despite offering over 60% higher capacity, operates more energy-efficiently, and is therefore more environmentally friendly.
