Laveno–Poggio Sant’Elsa cableway, Aerial lift in Laveno-Mombello, Italy

The cableway carries passengers in green-painted cabins from Laveno-Mombello to the summit of Poggio Sant'Elsa at 974 meters elevation.

The transportation system underwent substantial modernization in 2006 when CCM replaced the original Trojer system with new enclosed gondolas.

Local residents named this transportation system 'Farbeimerbahn' due to the distinctive paint bucket shape of its passenger cabins.

The journey takes 16 minutes each way, with cabins alternating between covered and open designs to accommodate two standing passengers per unit.

From the mountain station, visitors access a dedicated takeoff area for paragliding while observing Lake Maggiore and Monte Rosa mountains.
