From the terrace while enjoying an espresso, you have a fantastic view of the Dolomites, such as the Rosengarten and the Peitlerkofel.

One of the longest funicular railways in the world. It's impressive how quickly the railway climbs the approximately 850 meters.

One of the longest funicular railways in the world. However, everyone wants to get in the front, so the front seats go very quickly. The second or third row is still interesting, though.

The descent through the Nonnental valley is very good and often reminiscent of the Vinschgau valley. Fortunately, this high valley is not yet as crowded.

Fantastic view of the Etsch Valley. The route itself isn't that great: a battered road surface, frequent gravel, quite steep, and without much of a view—but it's still worth the effort 😁
