LEITNER - The New CD6 "Giro d´Italia" Is Officially Open
In the region’s most famous peak, the 1,750 m Monte Zoncolan, the new 6-seater chairlift will be the first system of its type in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The ropeway’s exit is in exactly the same place as the end of the Monte Zoncolan stage of the Giro d’Italia, which is why six of the chairs will be designed in the pink of the renowned cycling race and each one will be dedicated to Monte Zoncolan stage winners.
The chairlift carries skiers, and occasionally cycling fans, and was opened to the public on Saturday, December 4 with the last rider to win on the mountain, Lorenzo Fortunato (EOLO-Kometa), in attendance.
Fortunato said: "[I'm] delighted to inaugurate the "Giro d'Italia" chairlift on the legendary Mount Zoncolan. Many thanks."
