“You here, and you here!” says the lift man and points to two green crosses on a rubber mat at the valley station of the Sassolungo lift. He quickly opens the gondola; After the passengers have lined up obediently, he grabs first one and then the other by the upper arm and pushes them into the vehicle. Zack!, close the door, the gondola rattles up to the Sassolungo Gorge at a leisurely pace. The vehicle is popularly called a “coffin lift” – you can easily feel cramped in the narrow box, which can only be opened from the outside in an emergency.
