The Lift: The modern 8-seater Col Raiser gondola lifts you from Santa Cristina into one of the most scenic alpine pastures in the Dolomites. The ride takes approximately 7 minutes, offering breathtaking views of the Sassolungo, Sella, and the iconic pinnacles of the Geisler/Odle group. The top station is an ideal launchpad for both winter and summer adventures. Winter: From the summit, you can access the wider Seceda ski area via the Fermeda chairlift. While not directly on the Sellaronda, a quick ski down to the valley provides access to the Val Gardena Ronda Express funicular, which connects you to the Saslong and Ciampinoi lifts, and thus the main Sellaronda circuit. The area also features challenging runs like the black 'Pela' slope. Summer: Col Raiser is a premier starting point for countless hikes into the UNESCO World Heritage Puez-Odle Nature Park. From leisurely walks to mountain huts like Rifugio Firenze, to more demanding treks towards the Seceda ridgeline, the options are endless for all ability levels. Please note that bicycle transport is not permitted on this lift.
