The Puigcerdà Town Council restored the funicular service connecting the Station neighborhood with Raval de les Monges this February 11 following a closure caused by vandalism.

The facility had been out of service since October after an act of vandalism shattered the elevator windows. During repairs, maintenance crews identified technical issues requiring the replacement of the brake system, bearings, and control boards to ensure safety.

"We want to thank the citizens for their patience and understanding."

While the service is now fully operational, authorities plan further preventive maintenance in four to five months to replace cable guide rollers once the manufacturer delivers the specific parts.
