Start of the cable car season this weekend

The Swiss mountain railroads traditionally start their summer season on the first weekend in July. This year is no different and from next Saturday, mountain bikers can once again benefit from the numerous lifts.

While some cable cars and gondolas have been back in full summer operation since Pentecost, many major mountain railroads are following suit with the start of the summer vacations at the beginning of July. The mountain railroads in the Engadin destinations will be back in operation from next weekend and the Davos Klosters mountain railroads will also be opening their gates. The Italian bike destination Livigno already started operating three weeks ago.

However, there is still some snow at high altitudes. Snow fields are still to be expected, especially in depressions on northern slopes and on avalanche cones above 2300 meters, because the snow melt could not progress fast enough in the relatively cool spring.
