Regoledo funicular, Decommissioned funicular in Perledo, Italy.

The Regoledo funicular connected the railway station to the Grand Hotel Regoledo, covering an elevation of 300 meters above Lake Como.

Inaugurated on September 1, 1890, the funicular operated until June 1, 1960, serving the Grand Hotel Regoledo, a prominent hydropathic establishment.

The Grand Hotel Regoledo attracted notable guests including composer Arturo Toscanini and writer Cesare Cantù during the funicular's operational years.

The journey lasted 8 minutes and utilized a water counterweight system, with carriages equipped with water tanks carrying eight passengers plus an operator.

The funicular's track grade was modified in 1903, reducing from 65 to 57.4 percent, when the electric traction system changed to water counterweight operation.
