Funivia del Lagazuoi, Aerial lift at Falzarego Pass, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy

The Funivia del Lagazuoi runs from the Falzarego Pass station at 2101 m to a summit station built 641 m higher at 2742 m, on the edge of a rock wall near the Piccolo Lagazuoi. The two cabins travel on a single unsupported span with an inclined length of 1150 m, hung from the carriage by steel cables rather than a rigid suspension, and each has two side-by-side doors that slide upward.

The cable car was built between 1963 and 1964 to a design by engineer Ugo Illing, by the Hölzl company of Lana; its cabins held 25 people. In 1988 it was modernised, again to an Illing design, by Agudio, whose two cabins suspended on cables carry up to 50 passengers. On 27 July 1987 an Italian Air Force Aermacchi MB-326 severed the haul rope with its wing; the emergency brakes stopped both cabins.

The cable car provides access to mountain paths where visitors can walk through trenches and fortifications from World War I. These sites show how the Dolomites served as a front line during the conflict.

Modern cabins carry up to 50 passengers and cross the span in less than three minutes. The ride operates in most weather conditions, though poor visibility may affect access to some mountain trails.

The cabins hang freely like hot air balloon baskets and are suspended by four cables without a drive mechanism attached. This design significantly reduces structural stress during operation.
