Monte Brè

The Monte Brè funicular railway takes just over ten minutes from Ruvigliana to the summit: a sunny natural terrace above the Ceresio, from which the entire gulf of Lugano can be seen, and whose splendid scenery extends as far as the view of the imposing Monte Rosa and the Bernese and Valais Alps.

Monte Tamaro

Monte Lema

Monte Lema offers a natural oasis from which a network of footpaths follow the crest of the mountains, as well as mountain bike trails. It also welcomes paragliding and aeromodelling enthusiasts. There is also a restaurant-hostel, a playground and an astronomical observatory at the arrival point of the funicular.

Monte San Salvatore

San Salvatore, also known as Switzerland's Sugar Loaf Mountain, is the symbol of Lugano. The funicular railway of Monte San Salvatore is located in Paradiso and leads to the summit in just 12 minutes. Here the 360° scenery is almost indescribable and extends from Lake Lugano to the Po Valley, ending with the peaks of the Swiss and Savoy Alps.
