Review:
The cable car was installed in the center of Lugano in 1908 to enable citizens to escape to the fresh air at the top of Monte Brè. The journey of 1.6 km takes 10 minutes, to a height of 933 m above sea level. At the top the scenery is spectacular. Visitors can choose to relax on the terrace at the restaurant, see the Wilhelm Schmid art museum or to do something more athletic, like hiking, mountain biking or walking to a nearby traditional village. There is an option to hire a mountain bike to ride back down to Lugano.
