21 flights, four refuges reached and over a ton of freight transported; the province of Bolzano has just presented a pilot project in which cargo drones deliver supplies to hard-to-reach refuges.

In South Tyrol, cargo drones are being used for the first time to supply hard-to-reach mountain huts in the mountains. The local technology company "FlyingBasket" has completed a pilot project together with the province of Bolzano to test transportation via drone in alpine terrain.
