Stretching through nine kilometers of mountains, the Monte Generoso Railway has been operating from Capolago to Monte Generoso. The 1890 steam engine is the oldest working railroad engine in Switzerland, and the individual train cars date back to the mid-20th century. Monte Generoso is part of a natural park found along the Swiss/Italian border and features several attractions in addition to the railroad. Some of the attractions in Monte Generoso include the Fiore di Pietra restaurant, 27 kilometers of mountain biking trails, and 51 kilometers of nature trails that visitors can walk. Guided tours can be reserved, and paragliding schools and flights can also be arranged through various tour companies. The bear cave is famous landmark in Monte Generoso where more than 800 bear remains have been found, as well as the Astronomical Observatory. Monte Generoso Railway
