Mendola funicular railway

Another “sight” is the Mendola funicular railway, which is the longest and steepest of its kind throughout South Tyrol.

This means of transport has been inaugurated in 1903 in S. Antonio and has been established in order to reach Passo Mendola. The difference in altitude that this funicular has to overcome is 850 m. However, the Mendola mountain can also be reached on foot.

This mountain has traditionally been a summer health resort for numerous inhabitants of Caldaro. Still today the inhabitants enjoy a hike on Mendola mountain in order to escape summer heat.
