Legend

Lugo gondola by De Giorgi, 1984 Birth of the modern gondola Bernese coachbuilders De Giorgi AG launched their ultra modern Lugo gondola cabin in 1984. The basic design matured into a classic, which is still in use in the 21st century. The prototype of the Lugo recalls the move from two/four-person gondolas to six/eight-person gondolas. The automatic sliding door mechanism represented a further step towards the full automation of the cableway. The monocable system used here scored not only for its flexible conveying capacity, but also – equipped as it was with bench seats and exterior ski racks – for comfort. As a result, circulating gondola cableways provided increasing competition for conventional reversible aerial cableways with their large cabins offering standing room for upwards of 100 passengers, which by then had achieved full maturity.
