With Teufelberger-Redaelli tech to lofty heights: The new GD 10 Vauz-Pordoi gondola ropeway carries passengers with great comfort up to the Pordoi Pass!

Using Teufelberger-Redaelli ropes, the GD 10 Vaus-Pordoi gondola ropeway from LEITNER brings as many as 3,200 passengers per hour up to the Pordoi Pass in the Dolomites.

The new GD10 Vauz-Pordoi has come to replace the former four-seater chairlift. This constitutes an important step forward for the Pordoi Pass skiing area to cope with increased passenger traffic and to shorten waiting times. The new gondola ropeway is impressive, not only in terms of its transport capacity (up to 3,200 passengers per hour can be carried up the mountain), but also because of its modern and spacious X-Line cabins that allow skiers to stow their ski equipment in the ski rack provided inside the gondola. Moreover, also this gondola lift's economic efficiency and quiet running characteristics factor positively into this equation.

Naturally, such a highly modern system requires an equally state-of-the-art and high performing ropeway rope: This is why a Redaelli steel wire rope was chosen that exactly meets the needs of this gondola ropeway - REDMONT 7k31 - DUAL CORE!

This 7-strand steel wire rope excels with its stability and homogeneity as well as with its innovative DUAL CORE. The combination of the classical SFC core with the plastic coating, which ensures greater stability over time, makes this ropeway rope quieter and less prone to elongation. All this results in a significant increase of the rope's service life.

In view of the innovative technologies from LEITNER and Teufelberger-Redaelli, this gondola ropeway is considered as one of the most innovative passenger transport systems in the Italian Alps.
