A THRILLING RIDE UP MONTE BR\u00c8<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Monte Br\u00e8 Funicular has been part of Lugano’s history since 1908. It takes you to the summit of Monte Br\u00e8 (933 m.a.s.l.) in just over 10 minutes, covering a total distance of 1,599 meters.<\/p>\n

Renowned as the sunniest mountain in Switzerland, the Br\u00e8 is characterized by its breath-taking views of the lake and the surrounding mountains: an ideal destination for a pleasant escape from the city.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve taken the Funicular to the summit of Monte Br\u00e8, you can choose between numerous activities. Hiking or mountain biking, walking tours immersed in nature or discovering the characteristic artistic legacy around the small village of Br\u00e8, take a rest on the spots for a picnic, or discover the restaurants with typical regional cuisine.<\/p>\n
