There are also Free Gondola Lifts

For the bargain hunters among you, there’s also good news. Did you know that riding a gondola lift can also be free? Yes, that’s the case, for example, in the Graubünden municipality of Vals. The gondola lift to Gadastatt, for example, is completely free for everyone. But beware: The lift does not operate between 12:00 PM and 1:30 PM, as it’s lunchtime. Pizokel with plenty of mountain cheese or Capuns with Salsiz… Enjoy your meal.
