Sasso del Ferro, Mountain summit in Laveno-Mombello, Italy

Sasso del Ferro is a 1,062-metre mountain in Lombardy rising directly above Laveno on Lake Maggiore. A cable car, the Cestovia Laveno-Poggio Sant'Elsa, rebuilt in 2006, runs up to 974 metres at Poggio Sant'Elsa, where a panoramic terrace stands. The summit area also has a hotel and restaurant, a hang-glider launch board just outside the cable-car station, and a steep clearing about 15 minutes' walk away used for paraglider launches.

The mountain is served by the Cestovia Laveno-Poggio Sant'Elsa, a cable chairlift renewed in 2006 that reaches 974 m at the Poggio Sant'Elsa terrace. In the 1960s two ski lifts were installed for alpine skiing, but they were soon abandoned because snow was scarce throughout the winter season.

The summit restaurant serves as a gathering place where people from the region come to enjoy local food and celebrate together. The location blends mountain traditions with the hospitality typical of these high elevations.

The cable car, renewed in 2006, runs from Laveno to Poggio Sant'Elsa at 974 m, where the panoramic terrace sits just below the 1,062 m summit. From the terrace a path of about 15 minutes leads to the sloping hang-glider and paraglider launch area. A hotel and restaurant stand at the top.

The take-off board for hang gliders stands just outside the cable car station at Poggio Sant'Elsa, at 974 m; a steep clearing about 15 minutes along the path serves paragliders instead. The mountain is among the most frequented launch sites in the area, and two ski lifts built in the 1960s were soon abandoned for lack of snow.
