In 1964, Giuseppe Lenzi filmed an excursion to Sasso Pordoi, the famous “Dolomites Terrace.” Accompanied by friends, he reached Passo Pordoi and documented the ascent using the new cable car, which in just a few minutes takes passengers to nearly 3,000 meters above sea level. From inside the cabin, the camera captures the majestic panorama of the Dolomite peaks, while the filmmaker’s voice-over narrates the journey. The Sass Pordoi cable car, inaugurated at Easter 1963, marked a turning point for tourism in Val di Fassa: a pioneering work that made the “Dolomites balcony” accessible to everyone, the result of years of effort and technical ingenuity to overcome the mountain’s vertical face.
