Cassarate–Monte Brè funicular, Mountain funicular in Lugano, Switzerland.
The Cassarate-Monte Brè funicular system consists of two sections, connecting Lugano to the summit through an intermediate station at Suvigliana.
Established in 1908, this transport system initiated the development of Monte Brè village and created a connection between Lugano and the mountain communities.
The funicular leads to Monte Brè village, where visitors can explore multiple art installations integrated into the mountain landscape.
The first section accommodates 30 passengers while the second section fits 68 people, with services running from 07:00 with departures every 15 minutes.
From its summit at 933 meters, passengers experience views of Lake Lugano, the surrounding Alps, and the complete transformation of foliage during autumn.
