Until 2010, a trip from Ortisei at 1345 meters to Mount Rasciesa at 2163 meters in the old funicular was long and dangerous, and passengers had to suffer cold in winter and risk storms in summer. With the new modern Funicolare Resciesa, the trip takes only eight minutes, and travelers enjoy comfortable ride and spectacular views of forest-covered Resciesa Mountain.

The funicular has two cabins and can carry up to 180 people. The funicular stops at the top of the mountain in the national park Puez-Geisler, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site where visitors can enjoy dining in a mountain restaurant on a terrace overlooking the park.
