The Skyway Monte Bianco, a revolutionary cable car that rotates 360 degrees and travels upwards of 3,500 meters, has recently opened in the Aosta Valley in Courmayeur, Italy.

Carlo Rossi is the architect behind the extreme engineering challenge:
“The Skyway project was born with the idea of letting people live a new experience, which is the experience of the mountain. We achieved this through a large use of transparencies, a cabin that rotates as it ascends, scenic spaces that can be captured from indoors rather than from outdoors, and comfortable spaces to transport anyone from a child to an elderly person to 3,500 metres.”
