Lanzo d’Intelvi funicular, Mountain funicular transport system in Alta Valle Intelvi, Italy.
The funicular railway operates between Lanzo and Santa Margherita di Valsolda, spanning across steep mountain terrain in the northern Italian region.
The Santa Margherita funicular company inaugurated this transportation system in September 1907, marking the beginning of modern mobility in the valley.
The funicular influenced local development by connecting communities across the Intelvi Valley and providing access to Lake Lugano's surrounding areas.
Two original carriages remain visible at both terminal stations, while the maintenance path has become inaccessible due to deteriorated sections.
Santa Margherita station, now only reachable by water, transforms into a gathering place during an annual celebration each July's first Sunday.
