The cable car Funivia Pass Pordoi is for most people a very convenient way to get within an hours walk of the highest peak in Sella group, the Piz Boe. I used it to descent to give my knees a rest. The 4 min glide down is almost too short to enjoy the panorama but is certainly more comfortable than a 40 min knee crunching walk. The ticket for the descent can be purchased right in front of the access gate. It’s 9€ for a single descent but wearing one of the single use ‘proper’ facemasks is mandatory in the cable car which meant I had to buy one for 50 cents at the bar opposite. My Buff scarf was not allowed. There is a huge parking allotment at the base station reserved for cable car passengers. It was completely empty when I arrived at 8:30am but rammed full to the brim on my return at 1pm. If you like me prefer hiking up and taking the cable car down feel free to park there. You don’t have to display a ticket or anything.
