The historic Lake Maggiore cable car
Climbing aboard our cable car means enjoying a unique experience: in just a few minutes, from the shores of Laveno you reach the summit of Monte Sasso del Ferro, over 1,000 meters above sea level.
A journey suspended between lake, sky, and nature, aboard characteristic open cabins (or closed in case of bad weather) that give you breathtaking views: the Borromean Islands, Lake Varese, Monte Rosa, and, on the clearest days, even the Apennines.
Upon arrival, a panoramic terrace among the most charming in Italy awaits you, along with a restaurant serving local cuisine, a solarium bar, and nature trails.
A 360° view
The view will take your breath away: one of the most spectacular observation points of Lake Maggiore and the whole of Lombardy.
History and tradition
In operation since 1963, our cable car is one of the symbols of the area: a small masterpiece of engineering at the service of wonder.
An experience for everyone
Easy, safe, and suitable for all ages. Perfect for families, romantic couples, photographers, hikers, and anyone looking for a thrill.
