After a single summer of works, Carosello 3000 announces the opening of the new San Rocco cableway on Saturday, 16 December.
Following the heavy snowfall in recent days, there is more good news for those coming to Livigno during the winter. The test phase is finally over and San Rocco’s new Carosello 3000 cableway will officially start operating on Saturday, 16 December 2017.
The new facility, built by Doppelmayr, is divided into two consecutive sections that cover a total length of 2794 metres and a difference in height of 900 metres. The new cable cars are modern and elegant, equipped with both internal and external ski carriers and accommodate up to 10 passengers each. The departure, intermediate and arrival stations are also completely new.
The new cableway was entirely built during the short summer window thanks to the endeavour of more than 200 workers and a number of companies that cooperated in order to achieve a goal that many considered impossible: the completion of the facility by December 2017.
Stefano Cusini, the General Manager of Carosello 3000, is very satisfied with the outcome: "It was a project we really believed in. The schedule of the build was extremely tight, but, thanks to the commitment and enthusiasm of all those involved, we managed to complete it. I am very proud to be able to unveil the new cableway to the public in time for the Christmas holidays".
