Review & FAQ:
Monte San Salvatore is a 912 m high mountain in the Lepontine Alps, above lake Lugano. It is known as the Sugar Loaf Mountain of Switzerland. A funicular links the city of Lugano to the summit. Passengers need to change carriages halfway along the 1.6 km journey because the vehicles are designed for different gradients. At the top, Restaurant Vetta offers panoramic views of the lake and mountains. It seats 200 people and serves the dish of the day. It is available for private functions. In the village of Carona, there is a small church and a museum dedicated to San Salvatore.
