It allows you to quickly reach the Mendola Pass starting from Caldaro, saving 900 m of altitude difference. Round trip €10. Numerous hiking trails start from the Mendola Pass, including the climb to Penegal, always following the crest overlooking the Valdadige.

Hiking

Taking the cable car is an absolute highlight. It's quite steep in places. With the South Tyrol Card (South Tyrol Guest Pass), you can even ride the Mendelbahn cable car for free. suedtirol.com/nuetzliche-informationen/paesse/mendelpass
