Due to security reasons on the Italian side of the panoramic gondola you will not be allowed to get off the gondola at Pointe Helbronner.

The self proclaimed 'Eighth Wonder of the World' is due to have its official opening today, in the presence of the Italian Prime Minister. It will be possible to go on the panoramic gondola today but you will not be allowed to exit on the Italian side.

"With Skyway you will be immersed in a breathtaking landscape thanks to the 360° rotating cabins and 3 futuristic stations with restaurants, bars and entertainment services."

We'll take a trip over there soon to let you know what it's like and what there is to see and do, but in the mean time, make sure you check with staff before going on the 1hr 15 minute round trip. If you are expecting to get off on the Helbronner side today, you will be disappointed!

Service will resume as normal tomorrow.
