Chalet Rasciesa In Ortisei

Worth the trip to the top for the views. Nice and efficient.

Seilbahn Raschötz - Funicular Mountain Rail Car in Ortisei, Italy - Stats: 2402 m (7881 ft) in length and rise of 818 m (2684 ft) in elevation, 25% grade, opened in 2010. Recommend going up to hike Rasciesa di Fuorio. Great views.

A wonderful experience. Must do.

Fast cable car up to the top, different from a gondola, where you can hike without much effort, at least that's how I feel... over the Innerraschötz to the Brogles Hut

Very scenic, especially when you reach the terminus. The crowds are growing, and many are just taking photos. The price is moderately high, starting from Ortisei and then taking the cable car first.

A fun ride up the cable train. Good views of Ortisei on the way. Easy walks at the top. Incredible views in all directions. We hiked down later in the day, which was a good way to get an alternate perspective without the hard climb

A place with a truly spectacular view of Sassoongo. While Alpediciusi is nice, it's a place worth climbing at least once, even if it means making the time.

A rare funicular railway that's like new and takes you up to Resciesa very quickly. The wait is short, even though the rides aren't as continuous as with the cable cars.

We didn't encounter any lines, but we went on a miserable, sometimes rainy August day. It's best to walk rather than drive; I didn't see any parking, except for a few along the way, but very little anyway. The transfer takes about 5 minutes and is by rail. The round-trip fare should be around €20; I can't say exactly because I used the Gardena Card, which is recommended for reducing the cost of almost all ski lifts (certainly except the one from Alpe di Siusi, Saltria, to Sasso Piatto, €18 round-trip, the second stage of the climb where the WOW refuge is located at the top) if you decide to stay in Ortisei (or neighboring towns) for at least 3 or 6 days. The staff, both at the ticket offices and on the train, are friendly.

Il nostro è stato un pranzo come si deve, pur se ci siamo goduti, in un piatto unico, patate arrosto, pancetta e uovo in cereghino, ossia una pietanza semplice che abbiamo accompagnato con birra alla spina, per poi chiudere con un caffé affogato, ossia un espresso con dentro nel bicchiere una pallina di gelato alla vaniglia. Siamo stati sulla bellissima terrazza del ristorante e siamo stati bene. Servizio molto cortese, se ripasseremo dal Resciesa, sappiamo dove eventualmente pranzare o fare merenda.
